www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57509539-504083/texas-man-confesses-he-stabbed-hiv-girlfriend-to-death/. A man stabbed his girlfriend to death because she hadn't told him of her HIV status before they had sex.
I can't understand the behaviour of either of them or decide who was worse. Are they both as bad as each other?

"Bolden's son and daughter, ages 7 and 8, found their mother's body"

He is worse...

The story doesn't say if they had unprotected sex. So it's hard to assess why risk the guy was at, although you should clearly always tell someone your HIV status.

He left her body for her two kids to find after murdering her. I think that's a pretty hideous reaction to what might have been her being shy, anxious and stupid but not necessarily intentionally malicious.

Horrible for everyone concerned.

The woman deliberately had unprotected sex with a man and then told him afterwards what she had done. It was planned and it could be argued it was attempted murder.

Living with HIV seriously affects someone's live and it is nasty to deliberatly attempt to infect someone with HIV.

However stabbing someone to death is never OK. It sounds like the two of them deserved each other.

Justifiable homicide. Purposely trying to infect someone with hiv is attempted murder, his furious response was entirely understandable. Who knows how any of us would react in his situation, I suspect I'd probably have a similar reaction.

I don't think anyone in that story comes off very well. Very very sad.

my friend caught hepatitus from her now ex hubby,he didnt tell her

she found out while carrying his child

selfish twunt

the lady in this story is at fault,she choose to keep this very important subject to herself,had she been honest this outcome would not of happened

Yes but to stab her and leave her body for her children to find, do you think they deserved that?

Awful. Poor kids :(

"Yes but to stab her and leave her body for her children to find, do you think they deserved that? "

well to me it wouldn't seem that this was a plan or deliberate act. It would appear he killed her out of anger and rage and left. Now while it might be highly probable/inevitable that her kids would be the ones to find her it's not quite the same as intending it. He may well have killed her and fled, not thinking things through.
Chances are had he disposed or moved the body then this would also be used against him to argue along the lines of "well it clearly wasn't a blind rage if he was thinking of how to save his own ass/ he was in control enough to form a plan etc."
No great sympathy for the woman, he should still most certainly be jailed for a very long time.

I don't care how shy she was you have to get a grip and get over your shyness if you're about to potentially infect someone with HIV (assuming they did have unprotected sex, my sympathy for her would increase slightly if it turns out she was careful to use condoms).
However he killed her, which I also have no sympathy for!

no the kids didnt deserve that,but did the man deserve that either

bottom line is she knew and lied,a life changing medical condition

if she hadnt of decieved him and told the truth he would then decide to either stop or carry on,he was not given that coursity,

she started this ,would you be so on the womens side if she were a male and he infected her

as i said my friend was infected by her partner and carried his chilld then found out,her life has been changed forever through a totally selfish person,and them words i use about him a very mild

you will find most serious assaults,act of passion etc is because one party lied and decieved the other

and dont you think by lying she was giving him a potential death sentence,but that seems ok to some

the moral is dont fecking lie

What she did was awful and wrong, however she didn't deserve to die like that and her children definately didn't deserve to stumble on the murder scene and their mother's body. Those poor, poor children.

Don't think she deserved it in anyway just that I'd have little sympathy for her. Similar in the way I feel when burglars are murdered during their endeavours.the act doesn't carry a death sentence nor do the people deserve to die, however I feel little sympathy for them when they do.

Both as bad as each other. Two wrongs don't make a right etc...
