Daryll Rowe convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and five counts of attempting to do soA hairdresser has been found guilty of deliberately infecting five men with HIV and trying to infect a further five after meeting them on the dating app Grindr. Jurors were shown evidence that Rowe had taunted his victims, texting one: “I have HIV. The court heard that Rowe repeatedly sabotaged condoms, and then mocked victims saying that he was “riddled” with the virus after they raised concerns. I got you.”Rowe was first arrested in February 2016, but denied that he was HIV positive in his first police interview. Rowe said that he thought he had cured himself of HIV after taking a variety of non-traditional medication, including “urine therapy”.
