South Africa has opted not to establish a separate set of criminal offences to criminalise HIV transmission in this context, unlike several other African countries that have established separate crimes for the intentional or negligent transmission of HIV. In South Africa, policy considerations have prompted the application of existing criminal law principles in court cases dealing with the intentional or negligent transmission of HIV to sexual partners.enUniversity of South Africa, The Verloren van Themaat Centre for Public Law StudiesSexual transmissionHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)South Africa (SA)Intentional transmission of HIVNegligent transmission of HIVCriminal lawArticle
