In the Samara region, a man has been sentenced for the deliberate transmission of HIV. The Zhigulyovsk City Court found a local resident guilty. He was put on record as HIV infected in 2008 and was warned of criminal liability if he will pass the virus to a healthy person.
Despite this, according to the materials of the criminal case, in early 2014, a man entered into a sexual relationship with his girlfriend. He didn’t tell her of his diseases.
The verdict of the court to the man is 2 years 15 days’ imprisonment in a penal colony, according to the prosecutor’s office of the Samara region.
