2 charged for hiding HIV-positive status from their sexual partner

Two men carrying the Aids virus were taken to court on Wednesday to face a charge each of engaging in sexual activity with a male without informing him of the risk of contracting the virus.

One of them, aged 48, pleaded guilty to the offence with the victim - now aged 37 - in May 2009.

Before the sexual activity, the defendant, diagnosed to be HIV-positive in 2006, did not tell the victim of the risk of contracting HIV infection from him and get the latter's voluntary agreement to accept that risk.

The court heard that the defendant was afraid that the victim would not engage in sex with him if he were to tell him the truth.

Two HIV-positive men have been charge for having sex with a 27-year-old Chinese man.

The two men, aware that they were infected with AIDS, did not inform their victim of their illness and the danger involved in engaging in carnal intercourse with them.

The two men are Chinese, aged 27 and 48.

The former had engaged in oral and anal intercourse with the victim in January 2009, while the latter allowed himself to be sodomised by the victim in May 2009.

The two were charged in court today and have expressed their intention to plead guilty.

While out on bail, they have been ordered by the court not to look for their victim again.
