Husband Injects Wife With HIV To Get Laid
HIV positive man miffed at HIV negative wife, decides to inject her with the virus.
Of all the crazy schemes men use to get laid, this one has got to rank at the most vile. That's both saying a lot and putting this catastrophe mildly. Men And Women And Why Their "Counts" Don't Add Up
According to a report at The Huffington Post, a 35-year-old HIV-positive man in New Zealand injected his sleeping HIV-negative wife with the virus so she'd pony up and have sex with him.
After finding out her husband tested positive for the virus while she and her children remained HIV-free, the wife agreed to protected sex with him. While she continued to receive negative results, she grew increasingly paranoid about contracting the disease and cut him off around 2007. The husband didn't take lightly to this no-sex measure and decided to solve this little problem by infecting his wife with HIV—guerilla style. The man reportedly dipped a sewing needle in his own blood and pricked her leg while she slept. Weirdest Thing A Guy's Asked You To Do In Bed
He did this twice, and after the second time the woman awoke with a blood-tinged scar on her leg, her husband (who was "wide awake" next to her) tried to conceal the"blood sprinkled" sheets. Finally she grew wise to his schemes when she came home from work and saw him tooling about with a syringe of his own blood.
After testing positive for the virus, the husband finally came clean—crying that he didn't want her to leave him and wanted her to experience the wonders of HIV with him. Fight HIV/AIDS With YourTango
He is due to be sentenced in the Auckland High Court early next year and will likely receive a 14-year or more jail sentence.
A few questions remain. Namely—wasn't the wife at all curious as to how he contracted the virus in the first place? If he tested positive in 2004, when did they marry and have children? And how long had she been sleeping and procreating with him while he was a carrier?
In my humble opinion
A few questions should be considered when reading this article.
1. The immigrant to NZ was tested for AIDS, 6 years ago upon entry into NZ, which has a social welfare system that pays for the health care of visitors or residents in the country for 2 years or more. He was found to be POSITIVE for aids and Immigration knew (results are on the application form) and said something to the effect of. "Sure you are welcome in NZ, and we will pay for the treatment of your illness, till you die. Currently we have the money for you because we are cutting back on pharmaceutical etc for our current residents". I don't think we should let people who are a burden to the country become residents. Even if this discriminates on the basis of health. Am I unreasonable? A guy i know was in pain all night for more than 6 months when the artery in his leg clogged up, and had to wait on a waiting list. What is the cost of Aids treatment.
2. There would have been many reasons the wife wanted to stay with the husband. Having aids would make you funny in the head. She must have noticed strange behaviour. Blood needles... all strange. Should she have divorced/separated earlier. even though in a strange country, with family, maybe a different culture, language, no friends and a residency that may have relied on the husband's status.
3. It is possible to have children or sex without getting the disease. Thats probably why she was Negative 6 years ago upon entry into the country. How did the husband get Aids. it is possible that it was sexual, or form blood products like blood transfusions, or IV Drugs, or sharing needles, even medical needles as they do in some countries.
4. What sort of morals does this person have. that they can infect someone with AIDS, yet they still get immigration's approval. What would they do to a person who is not the mother of their children. Why import new people like this? doesn't NZ have enough?
5. Is it reasonable to withold sex. knowing if you catch it you will die. your children will be orphans. The children will watch support their last parent, as they suffer through an earlier death. (by about 40 years). Would you trust a condom? There is no way this husband should be allowed to be loose in the public as he is a danger to others. This type of persons values their own desires higher than the life/health/welbeing/happiness of others including their wife and children. What respect for other's well being does this person have. Would they infect a prostitute? rape a passer by? Kill a storekeeper for money?
I agree...the article wouldn't have stated what personal discussions the couple had following his HIV positive test. Perhaps she knew how he contracted the disease and decided to honor her wedding vows, perhaps he was negative when she conceived, then again perhaps the children were conceived with IVF using sperm washing to ensure the children do not contract the virus! Either way she decided to keep her marriage going and got scared...understandable and in man ways laudable.
He deserves to spend his remaining years behind bars if he managed to infect her and if not he deserves the divorce and to have to continue paying her for many years while he experiences the "Joys" of HIV infection!
Lordy lord, when will I stop being shocked by the horrors of human nature?
I have no idea when we'll both stop being shocked by the depravity of human nature but good gawd what an evil thing to do to someone! I'd be scared and horrified if my man tested positive for HIV and I KNOW the precautions and how to prevent the spread of it! I don;t know if I could remain in an intimate relationship with an HIV positive guy so I can empathise with her.
Sounds to me like these two should have had some counselling and maybe a support group to hep them out...still he was an evil little bastard so maybe it wouldn't have worked even had they had some help...
