Depends on the state that you live in. Mostly, it is considered pre-meditated/attempted murder.
2 :
Most likely aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying (depending on the state) up to life in prison. But when, and if that individual dies from the disease, you could tried for first degree premeditated murder, carrying life (or possibly death) imprison. This is not double jeopardy, as they are considered separate offenses.
3 :
Attempted murder..
4 :
If the person dies, they will absolutely charge you with manslaughter at least. Possibly murder if the prosecutor feels adversarial.
