  • Title: HIV prophylaxis is deemed pertinent evidence in rape trial.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 2000 Jan 21; 15(1):10. PubMed ID: 11367214.
    Abstract:
    A Georgia trial judge acted properly in admitting into evidence the fact that a rape victim took an antiretroviral drug for six months following her attack. The victim, identified as J. A., was raped by an HIV-positive defendant, identified as [name removed] was found guilty of battery and aggravated sodomy, and similar charges related to another victim, both of whom he also threatened with a shotgun. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that disclosing J. A.'s prophylactic treatment with AZT demonstrated that she would not have had consensual unprotected sex if she knew [name removed] was HIV-positive.
