Best Answer

The answer to this question varies by circumstance and location.

In the United States, the states make the specific laws that deal with HIV transmission. Some states have legislation in place while others have yet to address the topic. In states where HIV transmission is legislatively regulated, like Indiana, these laws are often called "Duty to Warn" laws. In short, the laws usually require that, when a person is aware they are HIV positive, they are required to warn any furture partners before engaging in at-risk behaviors with them. However, if a person is unaware of their HIV status, they would not be liable for transmitting infection.

These laws vary by state. Some states, like Kentucky, do not have regulations in place at this time.

Is it illegal to spread religion in school and if so why?

The word 'illegal' means 'against the law', so if any actions designed to spread religion in schools are against the law, then they are both illegal and unethical. No religion that respects the law or seeks to uphold high ethical standards would allow such a law to be broken, even if it disagrees with that law. In the United States the Constitution has been held to limit spreading of religion in public schools.
