Andre Parenzee will soon be sentenced in Adelaide, Australia, for three counts of "endangering life" for having sex without revealing his HIV status to three women, one of whom was his wife. The case against him relied on mainstream views about HIV and AIDS – that it is sexually transmitted, can be reliably detected by antibody tests, and is always fatal. The defence, led by lawyer Kevin Borick, disputes the science behind these widely held, but incorrect views. |

I was recently asked to describe some of the criminal HIV cases that I knew of, I came up with this:
- Paratrooper Johnny Lamar Dalton of Fort Bragg was sentenced to 40 months in prison, reduction in rank and a dishonorable discharge for having unprotected sex with a 17 year old. See Associated Press, the Fayetteville Observer and WRAL TV.
- “[Vonda Marie Guyton] an alleged prostitute…is accused of knowingly and recklessly exposing at least 20 men to the virus that causes AIDS…Guyton was arrested on a felony charge of criminally exposing or transmitting HIV” (Herald Tribune - October 10, 2007)
- “South Beach [Miami] nightclub promoter Elidor Kersaint was taken to jail in June 2007 for knowingly spreading the HIV virus to unsuspecting women…and faces a minimum
of five years in prison if convicted.” (TransWorldNews October 4, 2007)
- Johnson Aziga of Hamilton, Canada, charged with first degree murder in 1996 (but who still hasn't gone to trial) because not only were several of his lovers found to be HIV+ but two (or perhaps three) of them died, of a condition that is also a side effect of AIDS drugs.
- 5 Bulgarian nurses and one Palestinian doctor have been sentenced to death in Libya for deliberately transmitting HIV to over 400 Libyan children even though the only thing they gave all the children was a pill. It is expected that the death sentence will be revoked after Libya receives a substantial payment from Europe and perhaps the US.
- Carl Leone in Windsor, Canada, faced 20 charges of aggravated sexual assault and recently pled guilty rather than continue to fight. He was put on AIDS drugs for the first time after he was jailed, and is suffering severe side effects.
- In a similar case in Argentina in 1995, a judge dismissed charges against several health care workers saying that it was not proven that HIV caused AIDS or that the ELISA, Western Blot and PCR are precise.
- Stephen Kelly of England was jailed for five years after his former lover, Anne Craig, was found to be HIV positive.
- Vincent Walkem of Toronto was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault for having unprotected sex with two women. One was found to be HIV positive. He was sentenced to 4 years 8 months.
- Canadian Football League player Trevis Smith (a black American) was sentenced to 5-1/2 years for having unprotected sex with two women (both negative I believe).
- Robin St. Clair, a Canadian woman who had sex with men she met in bars has been charged with sexual assault.
- In Belgium, charges have been laid against a man who had sex with his former male partner without revealing his HIV status. His partner is accusing him of attempted murder.
- Jennifer Hurlbut, 33, of Rapid City SD pled guilty to five counts of intentional exposure to HIV infection in 2004 and received a suspended sentence. The maximum was 15 years and $15,000.
- Nushawn Williams, a black man from New York State got 4-12 years in 1999 for having sex with 48 women of which 13 were found to be HIV+.
- Stuart McDonald is in a closed psychiatric ward in Australia after refusing to comply with an order regulating his sexuality.
- Also in Australia, Michael John Neal is charged with 106 counts of having sex with 16 men between 2000 and 2006 without revealing his status.
- Adrien Sylver Nduwayo, a Canadian citizen, was sentenced to 15 years for having sex with 5 women.
17 health workers were jailed in Kazakhstan in June 2007 for supposedly infecting "dozens" of babies with HIV.
