(ANSA) - Florence, November 24 - Italian police on Friday
arrested a 24-year-old HIV-positive Romanian man in Florence who
pretended to be healthy and demanded unprotected sex of his male
partner by claiming he was allergic to rubber.
The man was nabbed after infecting his partner and went on to
have unprotected sex with two other men, who tested negative for
HIV, police said.
The man has been charged with grievous bodily harm and
attempted grievous bodily harm.
The probe started in August after a complaint from the man's
former partner.
In order to explain away the daily drug regimen he was on for
HIV, the man allegedly told his partner he was a terminal cancer
sufferer.
