Not long ago, a
campus student admitted that she had infected over 322 sexual partners with HIV
and made a list of the names. Now, Public Health and
Sanitation PS Mark Bor has called for the arrest and prosecution of TB and HIV
patients who infect other people knowingly with the deadly disease.According to the Public Health Act, it is a crime to infect someone with a disease especially incurable disease like TB and AIDS. The Ps said that for instance in a matatu, someone with TB refuses to open the window but keeps coughing all over the place, this is criminal and that person should be arrested and prosecuted for infecting everybody with the disease.
In light of that fact the PS implied for instance that the girl who infected over 330 men with HIV/AIDS should be arrested and put to jail. The act states for instance that if one picks a lady or a boy from a night club and they engage in sexual intercourse without the ailing partner warning the other before the act, he or she should be arrested.
It is punishment by law for someone who knowingly infects others with a communicable disease.
