N2  - A Georgia trial judge acted properly in admitting into evidence the fact that a rape victim took an antiretroviral drug for six months following her attack. The victim, identified as J. A., was raped by an HIV-positive defendant, identified as Parks. Parks was found guilty of battery and aggravated sodomy, and similar charges related to another victim, both of whom he also threatened with a shotgun. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that disclosing J. A.'s prophylactic treatment with AZT demonstrated that she would not have had consensual unprotected sex if she knew Parks was HIV-positive.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
