    ‘Agrees to have sex’ is all that is needed. Not disclosing std is abhorrent and illegal, but it’s not rape per se.

      It might qualify as rape by deception. When you consent to something, especially sex, it’s under certain circumstances. If you consent to sex with a condom, then the partner surreptitiously removes it, that’s rape by deception. I think it’s a fair expectation that someone would disclose std status if they knew about it.

      I believe it depends on where in the world you are. If I recall a lot places do quality that as sexual assault and rape.
