Mirabad District Court examined a case concerning the alleged intentional transmission of HIV and the application of compulsory medical measures. The defendant had been diagnosed with HIV and registered with a city AIDS center prior to the events in question, and had been formally informed of their obligation to disclose their status and avoid exposing others to infection.
The case materials indicated that the defendant engaged in repeated unprotected sexual relations with the victim over several months without disclosing their HIV status. The victim later tested positive for HIV and reported that they had relied on the defendant’s assurances that no illness was present.
During the proceedings, a forensic psychiatric examination established that the defendant suffered from a long-standing mental disorder, including intellectual disability, which significantly impaired their ability to understand the nature and consequences of their actions or to control their behavior at the relevant time. Medical records showed a history of psychiatric treatment and legal incapacity.
On the basis of the psychiatric findings, the court concluded that the defendant had committed a socially dangerous act while legally insane. As a result, criminal proceedings were terminated due to the absence of criminal responsibility, and the court ordered the application of compulsory medical measures. The defendant was placed in a specialized psychiatric hospital under enhanced supervision.
The decision may be challenged through the procedures provided for under criminal procedural law.
