1Opinion of the CourtKatz, J.
The dispositive issue on appeal is whether in order to state a cause of action under General Statutes § 19U-5901 for a violation of General Statutes § 19a-583 (AIDS statute),2 the confidentiality provision of chapter *847368x, entitled “AIDS Testing and Medical Information,” a plaintiff must allege that the person who violated that provision intended to engage in the prohibited conduct and intended to produce the resulting injury. We conclude that a wilful violation of § 19a-583 requires only a knowing disclosure of confidential human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related information.
