Another do I have a case?

What is the name of your state? Washington

I wasn't sure what forum to post in, I looked at all of them and none really seemed to especially apply to the situation.

I met and shortly thereafter married a man in 1999. We had unprotected sexual relations during our whole relationship, which lasted until August 2000 (together around 18 months). I found out around February 2000 that he had AIDS, not HIV but AIDS. I am 99.9% sure that he knew about this BEFORE engaging in a relationship with me and exposing me to the virus. The doctor told us he had had it for a long time and it was AIDS, not HIV, in fact he almost died. He was very abusive to me, but that's another issue. The point is, he exposed me to AIDS knowingly by engaging in unprotected intercourse with me. For some reason unknown to me, I never got it (THANK GOD!!). I have been tested many times since then and all have come back negative. That is still besides the point though as the point is he exposed me to it knowingly.

Would I have any kind of a case?

I don't know much about law, that is one of the reasons I didn't pursue this earlier (though I'm not sure if I have a case or not)

Thank you

Have you divorced? Is he still alive? If so, what did your divorce attorney say at that time? Have you reported this to the police?
Here is a link to the WA Bar Association that might be helpful

We are divorced, he is still alive, I didn't have a divorce attourney because I couldn't afford one, I had to do everything myself, and I haven't reported it to the police.
