A man who secretly infected his wife with HIV so she would be willing to have sex with him faces a possible 14-year sentence.
The 35-year-old man, an immigrant resident of New Zealand, tested positive for HIV in 2004 when he arrived in the country, though his 33-year-old wife and child were uninfected.
His wife subsequently agreed to stay with him to preserve the family, and initially consented to having protected sex with him. Later she would refuse him sex out of fear of being infected:
“I just wanted to maintain the relationship for the sake of the children. He insisted on staying and he mentioned that he was not worried about sex any more. All he wanted (was) to see the children grow with both parents under one roof.”
However, her husband was apparently so desperate for sex that he concocted a scheme where he would secretly infect her with his own blood whilst she slept so that she would once again willing to sleep with him, and be unable to leave him.
Noticing only a mark on her leg, it was four months before she learnt she was infected, thanks to the results of a medical check-up:
“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’.”
Police soon suspected her infection came from the husband as she had repeatedly tested negative for the disease during a year-long abstinence from sex.
The man, who admits the offence, faces up to 14-years in prison on charges of willfully infecting another with a disease.

yep, cut his fucking head off and be done with him...
Guess he never heard about using his left hand and the internet
I find it absolutely hilarious how little credit give to the role of sexual relations between people.
This is tragic, simple as that. The guy just wanted to be with his wife. Does that condone him? No, and he shall be punished either way. But all this blind, unprecedented rage, please. Morality is not perfect.
Plenty of people cheat. Is it a deal breaker? Most of the time it is. But some couples are able to get past that. It does not make it right, but it should not be held as a death sentence.
It was great they tried for the kids, but the guy should have realized he would not be able to handle living under the same roof with the woman he loved, and decided to go with a weekend meeting thing.
But as things are, he made a mistake, and he shall be punished in more ways than one. He deserves that, but not animosity from strangers.
Sorry but he deserves every little bit he gets. He was just being a selfish asshole that wanted sex. So what he infected his wife so she would have sex with him? Okay then how about he goes and infect the kids as well. Then they'll all be one happy HIV infected family. Now there all the same.
You don't get it, do you?
It wasn't the sex he wanted, you idiot.
The wife told him she was only hanging around because of the children, meaning that she didn't give a shit about him. Why? Because she couldn't get sex, as she was in fear of getting HIV. That's fine. But SHE was the one who wanted sex, and was willing to freaking dump her HUSBAND for the loss of it. She just can't do it with children in the house.
How sick does that sound? Very.
The guy didn't do it for the sex, obviously. He did it in hopes that he might be able to satisfy her needs, thus stay with him.
Women are so shallow and sex-driven these days. *Sigh* Marry a man, and if you can't have sex with him, or the sex is bad, ditch him. Women need to learn that there's more to a relationship then just sex.. >_>
Note that he is an immigrant, and that the NZ authorities did not bar him from entry despite his clearly pre-existing medical condition, which they would now have to subsidize treatment for. Not only are the authorities putting NZ residents at risk from infection, they are also squandering taxpayer money. This is the real scandal.
The 2nd question is where the immigrant family is from. Obviously this detail is being obscured for PC reasons, but really, some profiling might have screened the man out and prevented this tragedy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#Transmission
check it out. If they had sex without a condom, each time he would only have a .1% chance of infecting her. They could have sex several times a week for years and she would still have a low chance of being infected. And that's without a condom. Why didn't they just use a condom?
The husband used condoms, was his wife who rejected to have sex at all with him. Don't know if it was because she is frigid or because she already had a lover. Thanks for the first INTELLIGENT post on this thread.
Its still the husbands fault though. He even said himself that he didn't care about the sex just as long as his family would stay together. Then he goes and pulls this stupid shit saying that if his wife was infected as well she would have sex with him. Which was a total dumb ass and hypocritical move to begin with. Also here's another thing. How the hell did he get HIV in the first place. His wife and kid didn't have it so where could it have come from? Either he was the one that was cheating or he somehow got it while doing drugs. Besides his wife has every right to reject sex to decrease the chance of getting the disease as well. You can't just deny them of there free will like that. There's nothing that says just because your married to someone you have to have sex with them.
Give the husband a taste of Ling Chi he deserves.
That's called 'True Love'.
Ho-Ly SHIIIIIIIIIIIT.
I guess I can understand him not wanting his wife to leave him, but goddamn.
Not okay.
The agreement is through sickness and health. Not health only if you get a sickness I'm walking. That's logic of marraige and the contract terms.
You can't sit in a marraiage and then deny your husband sexual intimacy. Now I will be lenient and say you can stop the intercourse, but you still have to provide an alternative sexual suggestion.
You cannot deny a man completely. Now having protected sex was great. That was a comprimise. If she wanted to stop that to they neeeded to be an alternative.
Not only that the man could have went out and started spreading around town instead he tried to keep it in the family so to speak. I'm not condoning what he did but logically there's a wife not obeying the marraige laws and contract she agreed to.
So I totally understand his decisio and justification to infect her. I DO NOT condone or agree with his decision to do it secretly and then hide it from her for four months. That's criminal and he should punished.
However I believe the man was coherant and would have been willing and open to sexual alterrnatives had the wife not shut down an isolated herself.
I think the wife should also face some sort of punishment/sanction for the emotional abuse/stress she placed on her husband. Then again with being infected she recieved a death sentence, so maybe not.
It's a romantic thought, but a marriage vow isn't the same as a legally binding contract. The laws and contract are pretty much limited to getting tax breaks and hospital visitation rights. He wasn't honest to her in the first place, either because he previously knew he had a possibly fatal sexually transmitted disease but didn't share this information, or by gaining this disease, possibly through cheating even, and hiding it. These are reasons enough to walk, never mind the disease.
Secondly, she never actually left him.
Third, plenty of married couples do not have sexual relations. They're not required for marriage, although they do make things easier.
Fourth, as you learned in your high school health class, protected sex is not guaranteed to ward off STDs.
We don't know the circumstances surrounding how the man got HIV. If he was born with it through his mother and therefore was not at fault for having the disease, then what you said about the woman's behavior is probably true-- she could have been more open in finding sexual alternatives, although genital contact is out of the question (so perhaps something with toys, although some couples aren't comfortable with that kind of thing). However, if he obtained it through infidelity (which may be quite possible, considering that in all of their previous sexual escapade, she escaped uninfected), she's certainly not obliged to him at all. However, in no case is she obliged to continue to have sex with him.
I think she should be obliged. When people are single they can have sex with as many people whenever wherever and not think twice. When you get married you only get that person. sexual aggression or non aggression shouldn't be penalized.
If that's a problem don't get married.
I fail to understand why his libido should be penalized. However I also will agree with you to an extent.
If her sexual libido decreased because of HIV thats penalization to him. If her libido was always low then he's penalizing her.
Does sex really have to be the most important thing in a relationship? This is why I will never get married to a man.
Just 14?
I'd give him a life sentence, since he already fucked up the rest of his wife's.
Things like this make me real proud of my country. /sarcasm
I'm ashamed to live in the same country as fuckers like this.
Geez, that pure dude just wanted a little sex, cut him some slack. He already has to deal with HIV. 14 years just for infecting someone, wtf.
But it would be cool if he then would go around in prison infecting everybody. Hell, it would even be funnier if he did it outside of prison, just for the lulz. Who needs morals anyway if you have HIV. And like the pirate he is, he will share it with anyone.
/cynism
Cut him some slack? Are you fucking serious? He intentionally infected his wife with HIV. Now tell me what would you do if someone did that to you? Giving someone a disease just because he wanted sex is one of the dumbest things Ive fuckin heard of. Also his reasoning for doing it is shot to shit as well.
Anon 16:07, please, shut the fuck up.
You don't get it, do you?
It wasn't the sex he wanted, you idiot.

What an asswhipe. I think his dick should be cut off or his balls. (both are good)
Where's the crime? The bitch was there for him to do with whatever he pleased. That's the right of any husband.
Wow, to all the people who think the guy was the person at wrong here, you don't get it.
Read what the Anon above me said..
He should get attempted murder, the jerk.
That woman is sick, even more than the guy.
She basically said she was only with him because of the children, and that she didn't want to be with him because of the SEX!
This just proves how sex-driven women are. A relationship isn't all about sex, and I can't believe a girl wouldn't want to be with her husband because of the loss of it.. The guy didn't do it for the sex, he did it in hopes she wouldn't leave him. <3
Funny how he faces up to 14 years, trying to infect someone with HIV should be like attempted murder.. granted its not immediate, but eventually it'll have the same effect, he should get life imprisonment. Or maybe they figured he wouldn't live that long.
Tell that to the women in Africa who are raped and infected because many of the rural men believe that having sex with a virgin will cure you of HIV. And their government that does little to teach otherwise because they think HIV is a disease the whitewest manufactured to use against them.
Ugh, that was supposed to be a response to Anon 00:15 07/12/2009
Lol, that guy already got his punishment.
The woman he loves will never look at him again, but he'll know that she'll die a long and painful death. His children will grow up hating him. he lost his friends, he can't look in the mirror anymore.
Poor bastard, he did something very wrong and is now punished his whole life. I wonder how many people here call themselves christian (I'm not one btw.) - You can't even forgive, hypocrites.
What you sow is what you reap.
so anybody checked the Sunday Star Times link artefact posted and noticed how hiv infected people keep infecting other people -_-.
I already heard,read somewhere about people that have hiv,so they look for other people that have hiv and have sex with those.Becouse you can't get anymore infected then you already are.
So people with hiv,if you don't know this you can still have sex with people who also have hiv.
Keep that family together? You just doomed the fuckin mother. Now what happens if one of you gets boosted up to the AIDs catagory and you both kick the bucket. That bastard deserves a ass kicking. He didn't wanna suffer alone so he fucked up his wife. Shameless bastard!
You don't get it, do you?

This is a loaded headline, though I don't blame Artefact for following what all the so called "professional" media outlets are saying by cherry picking his quotes.
This obviously goes far beyond the sex and more like the result of a desperate man who felt his relationship was falling apart. First to go in a failing marriage is the sex, then everything follows. There was probably far more tormenting him than just his sexual urges.
This matters none. It was his fault he cheated on her in the first place, that's how he got HIV. What he's done is the same as cutting off your own hand and demanding a friends hand be sewn on because of your own folly.
Guilt is there for a reason, and he deserves every piece of guilt dealt to him, more now than ever with what he's done.
right..
We don't know how he got it,unless you have some source somewhere.
Ouch, I feel so bad for his wife that agreed to stay with him just so there children would not be effected by this and then he goes and does somthing like that.
You don't get it, do you?

What a selfish guy. Asshole.

stop spamming ffs. are you gonna spam like every 10 comments your spam? grown up
14 years is just not sufficient, this person need to be raped by dogs and have mouses gnaw on his dirty penis.
Why would you want his HIV spread to other animals they deserve better then that.
grammar nazi says- "mice"
or.. if you meant the computer mouse, it is correct
she should of just had sex with him.....
Your mother should have just aborted you.
So romantic *_*
even though some say romance is dead ^^
No this is far from being romantic.
I could be wrong, but I read that comment as sarcastic..
how about that romance is DEATH instead
Damn, i can not even imagine what the family (especially the kids) must be knowing through knowing that both parents will be gone on a few years and not only that but it was theyr own father who gave theyr mother a long and painful passing.
I hope he fucking dies painfully.
He should get sentenced for attempted murder, and get way more than 14 years.
Only in New Zealand.
Yes in new zealand. He will be out in 5 years serving the rest of his sentance at his house.
So full of shit...
probably this guy misunderstands the marriage vow: 'in sickness and health'
what a sick world....
You don't get it, do you?

This is man.
he going to get lots of sex now
oh be quiet...
Sick Fuck!
And the great Pestilence spreads on...
Sick assholes like this guy should get the death penalty via no treatment for his AIDS and all his money to his wifes treatments since it's likely he'll be dead from complications within the first 10 years in prison anyway.
Pure Idiot, don't ever pull out a Romeo & Juliet situation in an RL relationship, especially if you also have kids.
Didn't Romeo and Juliet kill _themselves_?!
This guy probably (don't know the outcome yet) killed his wife.
Stupid.
Man deserves the death sentence. Think of what the kids will go through in school.
Random Kids: AHAHAHA!! Both your parents are fucking HIV-carriers!!
Not to mention it's a fucking incurable disease.
*Not to mention it's an incurable fucking desease.
death sentence? why do you want to let him off the easy way? (I don't understand why most people see death as something worse than let someone suffer for years)
I'd rather see him in pain for many years in jail (from his sickness and treatment from other prisoners).
Also he should be banned from possible cures which may be created in the future.
I used to think that the death sentence was the easy way. Problem is that, in the states at least, prison conditions are better than living outside. I don't support the death penalty but "suffering" just doesn't happen in prison these days.
The Canadian system is based on the Swedish system which is flat-out insane. I saw a TV show where they were touring one of the prisons, which looked like a upscale condo black. The apartments inside were beautiful Scandinavian-design studios with en-suite full bathrooms and kitchens. But it gets better! They are not locked and neither is the building. "Prisoners" just sign in and out whenever they want to stay until it adds up to their full "sentence."
What a deterrent to crime.
If you think American prisons are good, you should see Canadian.
Jesus, its like living in a 3 star hotel.
OH HAI GUIZ I RAPED A LOLI AND INFCTD HER WITH AIDS AND AM HEER 4 LIEF IMPRSNMT
KK DUDE, JUST REMBER TO SIGN OUT IF YOU DECIDE TO GO OUTSIDE AND DO IT AGAIN
"That whole prison bitch thing is an American phenomenon." Haven't you guys played GTA4? o.O
I guess no one is going to bang his ass... Even if he dropped his soap at showers
hah send him to every European country (except Greece). or better yet to Australia. They're worthless anyway ^_^
They already did that with Africa
Hey, even better, why not force the anon above to rape him? And then just to be sure, force him to rape the anon above.
You don't get it, do you?

anon 18:07, yeah right tell me another solution for the problem? if i was in the wife position i would get divorce asap because first give it some though, your husban cheated on you and he got aids, cheating is a good reason to get a divorce and aids tell me who isn't scared of aids? of course excluding those special 10% of the world population that is immune tell me who isn t scared of aids? the guy was goddam lucky the wife didn t get a divorce. and now she has aids tell me how cruel is that? a incurable disease that shortens the life span and get even worse if the virus mutates inside you.
that guy truly deservs something worse than death penalty, the poor girl didn t deserv to get infected with Hiv, nobody does
lolno, that's being obtuse.
She ditched him because she was scared of the AIDS. I'm sure anyone would be.
Even some prisoner beating him up would be risky, you don't exactly want to make him spray blood everywhere if he has HIV. :P
An opportunistic plot by the government to clear up the prison population mayhap?
Make him a biological government weapon and send to a country you dislike the most.
He should get the death by 1000 cuts! what an asshole!
who knows? there is always some insane guy in a prison!
also if there isn't, he wanted sex, so no assrape might be a punishment.
Well, they can put some other things in his ass...
Then his HIV will spill to the whole crowd who came to see him die...
Some prisons even have seperate quarters only for infected.
Maybe they should deliver him to some violent infected gay rapists in prison.
He definitely deserves it.
But why would you make a gift to a violent infected gay rapist ?
poor gay bruce deservs some fun
maybe death sentence as in lifelong inprisonment?
Well life is 20 years the death sentence is 15-20 and then you die I believe. You have a long time to weight for your death at the end of the tunnel. Much worse then Life in prison because at least you have a goal to get out with life. The death sentence has no bright end
it costs less to maintain , pus death usually scares people more then lifetime in jail . oh and dont forget the humane prison system would be forced to pay for his medication as his condition disintegrates . death is best option .
The greatest benefit to having the death penalty as an option is that people ARE afraid of it. Serial killers will do things like agree to give the locations of the graves of his victims in order to plead down to Life Without Parole from Death.
But for it to keep working that way, you have to whack someone every once in a while so they know you're serious. That's why spending $$$ every once in a while to push the guy through appeals and into the chair makes sense.
Actually, the death penalty in some countries cost MORE than a life sentence. Paying for all the court fees, lawyers, and procedures, on AVERAGE, it costs more in some countries to put someone on the death penalty.
Sick Bastard...
I must be the only person here who wants to know how he got HIV in the first place.
agreed ... he's sick ... i get his good intentions about the kids but infecting your wife ... what if they both died o.o what of the kids eh ? they'd be all alone and all cause he was desperate for sex ...
what would they tell the kids ...
I tend to think he used to kids so she wouldn't leave him,and when she started refusing sex, he started thinking even the kids weren't enough to keep her with him long term. Thus this sick, desperate plot began.
You don't die from HIV anymore.
No, you don't. HIV screws your immune system. Then opportunist diseases come and kill you.
Yes you do, moron.
There were no good intentions, he was desperate for sex and had fear of abandonment.
Tell the kid that the parents died because the father wanted sex. Leaving the impression that sex is dangerous... maybe not so good idea?
I don't mean to defend him or anything, but with today's medicine, a HIV positive person can live a fairly long life without developing AIDS.
Unlike 15 years ago where a person with HIV could only live less than 10 years after the infection, today a HIV positive individual can live well over 30 years. That is, if one can pay the extortion fee to the pharmacies.
Yeah but its still an asshole thing to do. What would you think if someone just popped a needle in you and gave you the HIV. Wouldn't be fun now would it. Even with all the crap that we have now that could take care of it.
I see no good intentions he was just plain selfish
You don't get it, do you?
It wasn't the sex he wanted, you idiot.

and you need to learn that infecting someone with HIV never NEVER gonna solve any problem in a relationship. and it is't wommen who need to learn but man, if your wife loves to have sex and only have with you then you are lucky but if she refuses sex or only do it like 1 time peer week then you hate her. so yeah it is men who need to learn that and not wommen and you kinda trying to give that disgusting son of a bitch an excuse to infect her. and you said 'The guy didn't do it for the sex, obviously. He did it in hopes that he might be able to satisfy her needs, thus stay with him.' tell me infecting someone with a goddam incurable disease is gonna fix what? WHAT? he shortened her lifespan and now the children have both parents HIV positive does that sounds right to you? hope not
This has nothing to do with the kids. The article says they reconciled and were staying together. He did did this because she wouldn't have sex with him after they stayed together and it IS selfish to INFECT SOMEONE WITH A VIRUS.
If you suggest that even if this WAS just about the kids and that it somehow has this nobility to it, then I hope to any higher power there is that you never have children.
well good intentions of not wanting the kids to grow up with parents split up .... other than that yeah he was plain selfish
He's not sick. He's just a jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Well hopefully she can afford treatment when and if it becomes aids. They say with proper treatment and doing ti early the average lifespan is about 5 years short of a normal person.
You have to realize that one of the sickest parts, is that he didn't tell her about it and left it to just a random check up. It took 4 months until she found out. Is that still early ?
But yea. Magic Johnson is a living testament to that fact. Almost 20 years living with HIV.
Don't worry, HIV is not swine flu, so she doesn7t have to worry at all
But he is sick! HIV is one of the worst sicknesses you can ever contract.
Until she dies, that is.
I feel sorry about him actually. He should have been treated in hospital, right? Why he was still wandering around?
I do understand his desire to have sex, c'mon don't be hypocrite everyone.
Oh anon, you poor, ignorant child. Firstly, despite the fact that we don't know whether or not it was his fault he contracted HIV (because he could have been cheating on his wife), yes I feel bad for him catching the disease. However, there's no way I'd give someone I cared about such a screwed up disease. If he wanted a sexual release there's always an onna-hole >_>
Given the prevalence of HIV, I'm sorry. His desire to have sex is a moot point by any sensible form of logic. Pity doesn't outweigh morality - this man crossed so many lines I can't even begin to count them.
Treatment for HIV doesn't outweigh this either. His actions are, in my opinion, equivalent to rape. That's a bit far on the morality ruler for most people, however.
Still, any logic involving children also fails. They successfully negotiated staying together.
This isn't about hypocrisy. This is just wrong. If he was desperate enough to infect her, then he was desperate enough to find another way. He took what was basically the easiest way out.
And all of you morons who are talking about the life expectancy of people with HIV needs to know two things:
First, not everyone has the same chances. Some can die from this quickly depending on what they have and what they later get. And, second, HIV is no picnic even if treated. You can live longer than expected, but it doesn't mean it's going to be as if you never had it. Bottom line: It is still possible to die from it and has many complications.
That is not legal, ethical, or moral and if you excuse these actions you're just as pathetic as this man who had to infect someone just to get his rocks off.
I agree, he violated her body by infecting her with his disease. They stayed together so I assume she cared for and trusted him. He betrayed her and gave her a death sentence. Even if she does live a long time with it, she is still going to be living a very different life. And I expect she'll have a very hard time trusting people in the future.
Not to even thing how this will effect his son's image of people and relationships in the future.
You are obviously missing the point here. He infected her with HIV just so he could have sex with his wife. Which was a dumb ass idea to begin with. Think of it this way. Your body is pretty much fine you don't really get sick. You've never had any diseases or anything like that then all of a sudden the person that was closest to you gives you HIV which totally fucks up your immune system and the only reason they did that was so they could have sex with you. Now tell me is that a good enough reason to infect someone with a disease? Oh yeah and you obviously don't know what be a hypocrite means so try and lay off the big words now okay.
Not to mention that the virus will mutate each time it crosses between people. Meaning if they did just go and have sex without caution they'd be mutating their strains back and forth, possibly exchanging drug resistances and creating strains in themselves they'd have a harder time of fighting.
