SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Prostitution and AIDS testing. Provides that any person who commits a violation of the prostitution statute shall, for a first offense, be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor and shall, upon allegation and proof of a second or subsequent offense, be guilty of a Class 6 felony. Currently, the second offense receives no increased punishment. The bill also provides that any person who commits a violation of that law while knowingly infected with the human immunodeficiency virus and with the intent to transmit the virus shall be guilty of a Class 5 felony. The bill also allows the attorney for the Commonwealth to access AIDS test results of a convicted prostitute or “john” for use in any subsequent prosecution of the person under the prostitution statute.
