Ministerial correction made by Nick Hurd (Conservative) on Monday, 28 January 2019, in the House of Commons on behalf of the Home Office.
Sexually Transmitted Infections: Crime
There is no specific offence of deliberately transmitting a sexual disease. This behaviour can be charged under Sections 18 and 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
There are no current plans to make persons convicted of these offences subject to notification requirements (commonly referred to as being placed on the Sex Offenders Register).
Where an allegation is made to the police of deliberate transmission of a sexual disease, the police already have powers to investigate under Sections 18 and 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
