http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/world/view_article.php?article_id=133275 A Finnish court on Monday ruled a man had intentionally transmitted HIV,the virus that causes AIDS, to five women and had unprotected sex withleast 14 others, exposing them to possible infection.In all, 21 women brought charges against Aki Hakkarainen for willfullyattempting to infect them with HIV, but the court in the northern Finnishtown of Rovaniemi found there was insufficient evidence in two of thecases.The court ordered the 25-year-old Finn to undergo a psychologicalexamination before his sentence and the amount of damages were determined.Hakkarainen would await sentencing in prison since he was likely tocontinue his "criminal activities" if released, the court said in astatement.The prosecutor in the case has called for Hakkarainen to be sentenced to 12years behind bars, while the plaintiffs have requested total damages to thetune of €500,000 ($782,600), the STT news agency reported.

The definition of HIV changed sometime ago.  It now 'can lead to
AIDS,' rather "causes AIDS."

[...]

As I've mentioned before: everyone wants a piece of the HIV pie.

The advice to anyone in the UK who's threatened with having their arse
lock up in prison for passing on HIV is to plead not guilty.

The UK has no specific law for dealing with HIV transmission, so
prosecutors rely on ABH (Actual Bodily Harm) and GBH (Grievous Bodily
Harm) laws, which are inappropriate.
