Egypt approves jail for man with HIV
The Maadi Criminal Court of Appeal in Egypt upheld a sentence sentencing a man to two years in prison with labor and to being placed under surveillance for one year, after his conviction for infecting his wife with HIV (AIDS) due to his negligence and the transmission of the infection to her. The case's details date back to when the husband discovered he was infected with the virus before marriage, which later led to his wife becoming infected months after childbirth. He was previously charged with attempted murder, a charge that was changed to practicing immorality and causing injury by mistake, based on a medical report confirming that the infection was transmitted as a result of his negligence.
