Gauteng man faces attempted murder charges after infecting girlfriend with HIV

A 47-year-old man from Boschkop has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly infecting his 38-year-old girlfriend with HIV. The case involves the accused misleading his partner by claiming he was HIV-negative during their relationship from October 2025 to June 2026. The girlfriend discovered antiretroviral medication in his possession and confronted him, leading to his admission of being HIV-positive and alleging intentional infection. She tested positive for HIV in July 2026 and reported the incident to police, resulting in his arrest. The case was postponed to August 3, 2026, for bail proceedings, with the accused currently in custody.
