Man recklessly infected woman with HIV and went with her to clinic

A man recklessly infected a woman with HIV before visiting a sexual health clinic with her.

Jermaine Scott, 36, was diagnosed with HIV in 2005 and was prescribed medication to minimise the risk of transmission to others. He and the victim had previously been in a relationship and rekindled their romance in the summer of 2009.

When the relationship restarted, Scott was not taking his tablets regularly meaning there was a higher risk of transmission. He also failed to inform the victim of his diagnosis and went on to have unprotected sex with her.
