It depends on what kind of illness it is. If it is something like the flu, mono, the common cold or some other type of communicable disease spread through casual contact, then you should try to stop the spread of the disease, but you will most likely not be sued.
If it is something that can be prevented, like AIDS, then yes, you could be sued in civil court or charged with a crime.
