If someone manipulates another to have sex with them does that count as rape?

Question

I was reading online about the spread of certain stds, and a topic came up (the question I asked) there were mixed answers on it so I figured I'd ask here too. Not sure if it's been covered 
____
Anyway, if someone consented to having sex with someone, only if they didn't have any stds, they still used a condom but unfortunately it wasn't effective. Keep in mind b4 consenting 1 if the partners specifically asked the other if they had any stds, and made it clear that they needed to be honest because they wouldn't have sex with them otherwise (informed consent). Is that still considered rape by deceit?

Answer

So... partner A had an STD. Partner B asked partner A about their status. Partner A purposely lied to still get laid. Partner B gets an STD from partner A because partner A knowingly lied and risked spreading the STD? Pretty sure that is still against the law.

Answer

I don't see that as rape, but it is wrong and against the law for them to lie about an std to a sex partner.

The best way to prevent this situation is to go get tested with your new partner before having sex.

Answer

It wouldn't be rape it could be a civil tort case if you caught something from them. You would have to prove they knew before and the damages are resulting in care of the condition.

Answer

Honestly if you have to question if it's rape it's probably rape.

Answer

The only way to know is if they go get tested together... people can easily lie about their health status, so you can never really take someone's word for it, plus you agreed to have sex with the person they just lied to you... it's a risk that you personally took

Answer

No why would you ever take someone word for it? You both go get tested and show results. You gave consent to sex just unfortunately you believed the wrong person. How do you know person knew they had STD? Would never hold up in court. Sry but only way to know is get tested together and see results on paper

Answer

UPDATE commenting because I can't update
But this isn't for me, just in general. I had seen a few comments on some other forums saying that, but when I googled "what is rape by deceit" the only example that comes up is the situation where the brother of a lady's BF slept with her in a dark basement while she was under the impression it was him.

Answer

No, I don't consider it rape.
But it's still morally wrong and despicable

Answer

No thats not rape. Rape is if the person said no to any form of sex. But it is a form of deceit.

Answer

technically no, not rape. but very shitty.
