Consent will only be negated if the fraud went to the nature of the act, and not a collateral matter similarly, until recently, fraud as to the harmful consequences of the act would not negate consent. Fraud includes knowingly making a false statement, making a statement in total disregard as to its truth or knowingly creating a misleading impression by omitting relevant information.
