An HIV-positive man has infected his wife with the virus, which can cause Aids, by pricking her with a sewing needle dipped in his own blood.
The man injected his wife while she slept. It is believed he wanted to give her the disease so she would start having sex with him again, the Sunday Star Times reported.
It is the first case of its kind in New Zealand. Other cases have seen HIV-positive people infect others through unprotected sex.
She described how in May this year she discovered a sting-like mark on her left thigh. Later that morning, when she returned home from her nursing studies unexpectedly, she saw her husband in the bedroom with a syringe full of blood.
Two days later she awoke to a stinging feeling in her leg. He denied pricking her but later she found evidence of "blood sprinkles" on the duvet.
In September, when her doctor suggested a test at a routine check-up, that she found she was HIV-positive.
Police charged the man in October this year.
The couple had been experiencing relationship problems, in part because of the woman's refusal to have sex with him, as she feared she would contract the disease.
The woman said when she confronted the husband with the diagnosis late last september he admitted dipping a "sewing needle" in his blood and pricking her with it.
"All he said [was] he was sorry. He said: `I used needles on you because I wanted you to be the same as me so that you can live with me and you won't leave me'." Now in your curiosity or rage....., what do you think the woman should do to man to mitigate the pains caused by her own husband, should she go on press charges against him or leave things to fate?

It's really sad, hurtful and painful to bear such, but for the sake of their little kids I think she should forgive her husband and pray to God for the sake of their family.

Hey, it's her husband and marriage vows say "for better for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us path". she should forgive him cos in the first place she wasn't supposed to deprive him of his conjugal rights. For crying out loud, i believe she said those words in the marriage vow.
