Canadian faces life in prison...for having AIDS

Trevis Smith, 30, was accused of not telling the women that he carried the virus that causes AIDS and of lying to one of them who even pressed him about persistent rumors of his malady[...]

[...]Neither of the women has tested positive for HIV, said reports
