Canadian convicted of murders and for spreading HIV

A Canadian man was found guilty this weekend of murdering two women and sexually

assaulting others by not warning them before having unprotected sex that he

carried the virus that causes Aids.

Aziga, 52, knew since 1996 that he was HIV positive and was under a

public health order to inform his would-be lovers. He is the first person in

Canada to be convicted of murder for recklessly spreading the virus.

" It's certainly precedent-setting here in Canada because we now have a

conviction for first-degree murder involving HIV transmission, " prosecutor

Shea told the Ottawa Citizen.

Seven of Aziga's partners became infected and two died of Aids-related cancers.

Several others were exposed but tested negative for the virus.

The defence argued at trial Aziga was depressed and ill and did not deliberately

endanger lives. The victims said they would not have had sex with him if they

knew that he was infected.

Aziga is to be sentenced on May 7.

That's good news. Not too many years back, a man from the city came to the small town in Alabama near my place and infected at least 8 women with HIV. That's a lot of people given the official population of the town is only about 400, 800 if you include the surrounding environs.

The state's solution was to put free condoms in all the stores. However, free condoms were already available at the little club and one of the gas stations, just that certain people don't use them.

I don't know if they ever caught the guy who did it or even if they bothered to look. Not surprising given how the state works.
