An Australian jury on Friday convicted a transgender prostitute of causing grievous bodily harm by knowingly infecting a client with HIV. She will be sentenced at a date yet to be set and faces a potential maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. They had unprotected sex on multiple occasions until August 2015, and she told him she was regularly tested for sexually transmitted diseases. The man was diagnosed HIV-positive in September 2015. Palmer had argued he could have been infected by someone else.
