Abstract
This article, in the first place, studies the features of AIDS disease, the factors of infection and the ways of its transmission, and then represents some statistical figures of AIDS in Iran and the world. In this article, the authors regard the criminal liability for transmission of HIV and the arguments for and against the criminalization of HIV transmission will be discussed. In Iranian Penal Code, there are some suitable criminal subjects like murder, attempted murder and transmission of STD (Sexual Transmissible Disease) to apply to related behaviors. Although abortion of HIV positive fetus is forbidden in both Islamic rules and penal code, in some specific conditions it will be permissible. Finally it will point out that all suffered injuries should be compensated for.
