A man who recklessly infected a woman with HIV after he stopped his treatment and did not tell her about his diagnosis has been jailed for four-and-a-half years. Luke Davis, 31, was convicted last October of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a woman who described contracting the sexually-transmitted infection as a 'life sentence'. His victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, discovered she was HIV positive in 2021 after a routine screening. Judge Martin Jackson said Davis chose not to tell the woman about his diagnosis for 'entirely selfish reasons'. 'To me, it's a life sentence as I will never be, or see myself, as the same.'
