LA HB808

Renames the offense from "intentional exposure to HIV" to "intentional transmission of HIV" and requires proof of specific intent to transmit, knowledge of HIV-positive status, and conduct posing a "substantial likelihood of transmission"

Defines "substantial likelihood of transmission" as contact with blood, semen, or vaginal fluid carrying significant probability of HIV transmission per accepted medical standards, explicitly excluding conduct with only negligible or theoretical risk

Adds new affirmative defense for defendants receiving HIV medical care who maintained an undetectable viral load that effectively eliminated transmission risk through sexual contact

Designates the offense as a sex offense requiring registration only when transmission occurs through sexual contact, rather than for all violations

Retains existing penalties of up to $5,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment for general violations, or up to $6,000 fine and 11 years imprisonment for violations against first responders
