You cant consent during deception. If your gf has aids and doesnt tell you, then you didnt consent. That is both the legal and culutral definition of rape.
Unfortunately: not everywhere is a woman capable of raping a man legally
Giving someone aids isnt rape, it's like saying "she shot me during sex so it must be rape".
Did you consent to getting shot? If it was during sex you have a case for rape.
Rape does not mean a penis goes in a vagina unconsentually. Rape means you removed someones agency in a sexual fashion. That can mean you fingered them like our president(but not under new york state law, even though the judge admitted it was rape), or it can mean you tore their clothes off, or stuck something in them they didnt like, it can mean they took the condom off without you knowing, it can mean they said they are fixed when they are not.
I just looked it up, you are correct. Knowingly transmitting hiv is not legally considered rape(except in some states), it's its own crime. Most of the time a felony.
The UK definition is bad: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape
Yep, that was the US's federal stance until 2009. Draconian as fuck.
