Apparently, people haven't gotten the memo that HIV doesn't have a cure yet, because people are still not protecting themselves. Hip Hop Wired reports:
Former professional wrestler Andre Davis, who wrestled under the name "Gangsta Of Love" and "Sweet Sexy Sensation", has been convicted by a jury in Cincinnati, Ohio of charges that he had sex with women without telling them that he knew he had tested postive for the virus that causes AIDS.
Davis was convicted on 14 counts of felonious assault after he didn't tell 12 sex partners about his HIV status or lied to them.
According to the Associated Press, the women testified they had unprotected sex with Davis.
Defense attorneys challenged whether it was proved Davis was HIV-positive and suggested the women were promiscuous.
World Wrestling Entertainment told Davis in 2009 it wouldn't hire him because he failed a physical by testing positive for HIV.
Davis faces up to 120 years in prison and is facing more charges in two other Ohio counties.
And to top it off, he was busted by his baby moms who found his paperwork and told the other women.
Under Ohio law people who know they are infected with HIV are required to inform potential sexual partner.
The judge in the case prohibited attorneys from revealing whether any of the women were infected.
