Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / January 2008HIV victim gets bail
<http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/01/08/2134398.htm>: ----- Begin Quote ----- A 41-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a woman who was later diagnosed with HIV has been granted bail in the Perth Magistrates Court. Wepukhulu Zebtec was originally refused bail over allegations he lured the woman to his home and sexually assaulted her. Three days after the alleged incident, the woman tested positive for HIV. But today Mr Zebtec's lawyer said a medical report indicated the woman was infected between seven and 14 days earlier, which would mean his client was excluded from giving her the virus. Magistrate Paul Heaney agreed to release Mr Zebtec on $10,000 bail. He is due back in court in March. ----- End Quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 4,743 days and counting...

And her HIV+ status is irrelevant because he didn't know it and therefore intended to infect her with his virus. |
