Would a homeowners policy pay negligent intentional emotional distress if the homeowner wrongfully acused you of malious trespassing and booked into jail when they did not own the property you were on?

They may not have OWNED it but did they live there, rent there, or have some interest in the property? In the US ANYBODY can sue ANYONE for ANYTHING, however, I think your chances of winning such a suit are astronomical.

What is the difference of intentional and reckless infliction of emotional distress?
My answer would be if the party is very clear to you that you're actions are indeed causing emotional damage and you do not stop. Then it is clear and intentional. It is one thing to say you want to end a relationship, it is another to demoralize, degrade and commit psychological murder, which I define as lying and denying what one is doing which is contrary to reality. It is called driving someone crazy. And pretty soon you don't know what is real and what isn't. Eventually, it will break one's mind down. Perhaps that is psychopathic. Have to research that.
Can you sue someone for disclosure your hiv status without your consent?
Maybe. Obviously, this is a very complex question, because on the one hand you have a right to privacy, but on the other HIV is considered a matter of public health concern. If what they disclosed was true, then it isn't libel or slander. Depending on the jurisdiction, it might be intentional infliction of emotional distress. Not every jurisdiction recognizes the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress though, and the requirement of mens rea, usually "malice aforethought," is quite high. It is also possible that there was a right to privacy violation, but because HIV could be considered a matter of public concern, it isn't clear that you would win a privacy violation case. For these reasons, it is impossible to give a definitive answer to your question. You ought to consider consulting a lawyer in your area who can give you better answers about how your state treats privacy violations and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
