HIV Man Injects Sleeping Wife With Own Blood

[Nagishkaw 510]

An HIV-positive man has confessed to injecting his blood into his sleeping wife and infecting her with the virus that can cause Aids, reports have said.

It is believed the man wanted to give her the disease so she would start having sex with him again, New Zealand's Sunday Star-Times said.

Court documents detailed how the man, 35, twice pricked his 33-year-old wife with a sewing needle laced with his infected blood.

The husband discovered he was HIV-positive - but his partner and children were not - during health checks imposed on them when the family arrived in New Zealand in 2004.

The woman had said she wanted to maintain the relationship for the sake of the children.

But she refused to have sex with her husband for fear of contracting the disease.

In the documents, the wife described how, in May, 2008, she found a sting-like mark on her left thigh and two days later awoke to a stinging feeling in her leg.

She said: "I got up... and I flicked the blankets... I looked at (the husband) and he was wide awake."

The wife asked him if he had pricked her and he said, 'No'. But she later found evidence of "blood sprinkles" on their duvet, which she said her husband tried to hide from her.

During a routine check-up four months later, doctors revealed she was HIV-positive.

The woman confronted her husband, who admitted dipping a needle in his blood and pricking her with it.

"All he said (was) he was sorry. He said, 'I used needles on you because I wanted you to be the same as me so that you can live with me and you won't leave me'," she said.

The husband has admitted wilfully infecting another with a disease and faces up to 14 years in jail when he is sentenced at Auckland High Court next year.

14 years in jail?

At least he'll have company to keep him warm at night.

I just don't understand human thought processes and actions sometimes. I don't know why I continue to be shocked at shocking stories. Such a strange species.

Well he may not have to worry about "bubba" getting with him...then again...who knows these days

Crazy.

That's messed up beyond words.

Classic example of him thinking with the wrong head and for doing so he's condemned his wife to almost certain death not to mention what that would do to their children. The man's an idiot.. how people like that actually get someone to marry them to start with is beyond me. I hope he's tried and convicted of murder. What's really odd is.. how did he end up with HIV, children and married to a woman who didn't have it? Following the logic that he's thinking with the wrong head I suspect he's had a bit extra on the side which would explain his current situation.

She should divorce him, and take the kids. You can't change back time now. What happened already can't be changed.

We'll probably start hearing more and more of this as more people become infected with HIV.

I was wondering that myself.

I know the woman said she wanted to "maintain the relationship for the sake of the children" but I think that created a huge problem for them. Yes, he had HIV and was apparently crazy; however, it's unrealistic to expect one spouse to remain satisfied with a sexless marriage that's more or less "for show."

I'm not saying that excuses his actions, but I think this would've turned out better if she hadn't remained married to him. That would've hurt him, but probably less so than the "let's stay together but no sex ever" situation. More importantly, she wouldn't have been infected with HIV.

I don't understand why they still didn't have sex. Sure, he had HIV, but there are safe ways for a husband and wife to have sex without transmitting the infection.

omg this is so selfish. I can't believe it. How can someone destroy another person's life. It is not the wife's fault that he got HIV, so why should she pay for it. If he wanted sex, he could have used his hand.

[slim 1,525]

If he wanted sex, he could have used his hand.

That's probably why he got HIV in the first place. Men who use their hands don't need to leave home!

Odds are this guy was trash when she married him and she disregarded everyones warning.

Of course the kids will pay the highest price, nothing new there.
