Apparently a husband in New Zealand was being denied sex by his wife because he had HIV. In order to have sex with her, he pricked her with a needle infected with his HIV while she was asleep, and she caught HIV. Talk about about a selfish SOB.

That is disgusting!
The article says that he emigrated to NZL does anyone know where from?
NZL has a very low rate of HIV/AIDs compared to most countries and those that do have it are predominantly in the gay community or are immigrants from Africa. There has however lately been an increase in women being infected by bi-sexual men.

If I were the wife, I would give him the Wayne Bobbit treatment, only that I would run the removed parts through a meat grinder. No more sex at all due to no more existing wedding tackle.

Seriously, she would have every right to go over the edge after being inflicted with HIV by a person she loved!
What a nutter this guy is, great plan. That's the most selfish thing I've ever heard of!

Quoting MD11Engineer (Reply 6): Here it would be at least considered aggravated assault, if not attempted murder (life sentence).
In the US it is a criminal offense to knowingly infect someone with any possibly fatal disease. In many states it is attempted murder, or even murder itslf if the prognosies shows the disease will eventually kill the person with no hope of a cure or remission. That is the law here in Texas, and similar in most other US states. I am sure that is also true in the EU, OZ, NZ, Japan, and most of the rest of the world.
So, in NZ, what charges could this idiot get? This is a discusting act.

That is an interesting question these days, given the ability to treat HIV now. Doesn't at all excuse the hell he just made this woman's life, but an interesting question.

You cannot get treated for HIV. The current medication only allows you to reduce the symptoms and prolong life, but for most patients the final outcome is death. I am going to assume that the husband got it from somebody he was seeing during the marriage, so no pity for him...

You can be treated, but who wants that anyway? You can't be cured, and that is they key.

I can see being frustrated for not getting sex, but why not just divorce her and find some other women who is also infected? Yeah a marriage with no sex is absolutely worthless, but certainly no reason to do this! He basically signed her death warrent. I hope he gets charged.

No that is incorrect... There is a lot that is misunderstood about HIV and in fact it is misunderstood amongst the average person present day that most people with HIV/AIDS will die. Well that is the stigma if you will. I don't claim to be a subject matter expert either but the science is fascinating.
You really need a Medical or Science degree to understand things like Non-Nucleaside, Nucleaoside Transcriptors, Integrase, Entry or Maturation Inhibitors cell structure and DNA of HIV.
In fact the general consensus amongst general population usually relies on 1980's to early 1990's technology about HIV. Sure the medication supresses the virus but there is far more to this complicated virus that is not understood.
There is only amost 30 years of data right now and not enough sample sets of data to predict lifespan comparing with those on HAART treatment of present day and HAART of the mid 1990's. But studies are continiously ongoing like trend studies, genetic studies etc...
Data and studies suggest that a great number of people that are dying present day are because of lack of Medical Coverage/Medical Insurance or other financial resources this includes third world countries without adequate access to certain medications etc, symptomatic HIV, lack of adherence to medication, certain preexisting medical problems that includes AIDS or non-AIDS related symptoms, recreational drug use, continuous risky sex behavior.
The point being that the choices you make when you are infected (diet, exercise, amount of sleep, stress, lifestyle practices) can make the difference if one lives a normal/almost normal lifespan or shortened life.
There are individuals approaching 25-30 years infected and some progress to AIDS in a short amount of time because of aforementioned reasons. Not everyone is the same.

First off he would be charged with assault,
secondly he would be charged with knowingly infecting someone with an infectious disease (theres a proper way of describing that but you get the idea)
thirdly he would also probably be charged with causing bodily harm.
If all those charges were passed he would probably only still get a few years in prison... at most about 10 years but unlikely.

Properly managed, HIV has a long-term outcome similar to that of diabetes. If you take all your medicine on schedule, your virus is unlikely to develop resistance and will remain dormant. If you skip doses and are noncompliant, your virus will develop multiple resistances and you will die a horrible, slow death.

Yeah he's a piece of human excriment we allowed into our country from Africa, he brought his wife and children with him. It was discovered that he had AIDS when undergoing manditory medical tests required by NZ Immigrations Services.
"The man, 35, admitted infecting his wife, 33, and has been remanded in prison awaiting sentence for wilfully infecting another with a disease, an offence that carries a maximum 14 years' imprisonment. He is due to be sentenced in the Auckland High Court early next year".

I wonder why she was still married to him, if she did not want to have sex with him? (I do not say this to blame the victim; obviously the guy is a psycho and needs to be dealt with.)
I heard (on an episode of House, which I acknowledge might not be equivalent to the New England Journal of Medimacine) that it is almost impossible for HIV to be transmitted via heterosexual intercourse if a condom is used.

Oh lovely. Why can't these tests be done overseas before they even came to this country? So now the taxpayer has to foot the bill for his lifetime of healthcare (plus imprisonment costs), and even though it wasn't her fault we now have to pay for her lifetime of healthcare which wouldn't have happened had he been banned from immigrating.
