HIV patient faces time for unprotected sex
An Illinois woman faces 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges she had unprotected sex with her boyfriend despite having the AIDS virus.
Angela Harris, 27, St. Charles, Ill., is to be sentenced next month on two counts of knowingly and recklessly risking infection of another person with the HIV virus.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said Harris had been infected with HIV since she was 14.
Harris was arrested last year after her mother tipped off the boyfriend to her condition. The newspaper said the boyfriend tested negative for the virus.
The mother even told police her daughter had relations with as many as 100 people in the previous five years, the newspaper report said, although that claim was not substantiated, Harris’ lawyer said. // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
