The Guardian reported that an HIV-positive woman who infected her boyfriend has been jailed for 32 months. The 43-year old kept her condition secret while having regular unprotected sex with a 31-year-old man with whom she had a two-year relationship. He attempted suicide after being diagnosed as HIV-positive.
Inner London crown court heard that the HIV-positive woman was in denial about having the condition.
After the hearing, police said the women had refused to cooperate in tracking down her former sexual partners. Detective Sergeant Brian McClusky said: "We located four. One was infected, and the quality of his life has been severely curtailed. For the others, there was still heartbreak and stress for them and their partners as they waited for test results."
