If person A injects some AIDS virus into person B with the
intent of giving them AIDS so they will die,  what crime can
person A be convicted of? Attempted murder? Murder (if B dies)?
Assualt?

How about if person A, who knows he has AIDS, rapes person B
with the admitted intent to give them AIDS so they will die?
Attempted murder?

This is purely a legal question.  AIDS virus can be substituted
with any fatal disease in the above discussions.
