HIV-Positive Sergeant May Have Knowingly Exposed “Swingers” in Kansas

An HIV-positive Air Force sergeant stationed at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas was arrested after military officials learned he might have knowingly exposed people at “swinger events” to the virus, The Wichita Eagle reports. A court document shows the sergeant attended 21 swinger parties from January 2009 to July 2010. Health officials expect this is the largest case of HIV exposure in Sedgwick County, which has 729 people living with HIV. County health officials say they might help people track down sexual partners for notification purposes if needed.

People are people? What do these people think? Swingers? the hiv virus is thought to have crossed over from apes to humans back in 1930? how? still alot of unanswered questions... but, it is common knowledge... if someone has sex with multiple partners... practice safe sex by using condoms etc...? hiv is just one STD one can catch... theres many non-curable and or drug resistant strains of std's... This individual acted poorly but, What was he Exposed to from the swinger groupies???
