A 36 year-old HIV-positive DJ from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, has been charged with raping a 16 year-old girl and infecting her with HIV.
The report, from newzimbabwe.com, says the man is charged with three counts of rape, but he does not appear to have been charged specifically for the alleged HIV infection.
He is alleged to have had sex with the girl (the age of heterosexual consent is 16 in Zimbabwe) three times over New Year's Eve and the following two days, while she was staying with him at his hotel, following a "drug and booze-fuelled" party.
When the girl's mother found out where she was, she went to the hotel to bring her home.
The mother took her daughter home but she did not reveal that she had been raped until the mother “noticed some change in her behaviour”. On being questioned, she told her mother that [the DJ] had raped her and police were called.She tested HIV-negative on January 8th, but positive on March 18th, suggesting that she did acquire HIV during this period.
