A Florida man who had sex with multiple women without telling them he was HIV-positive has been sentenced to two years in prison.

At least two of the women were diagnosed with HIV after dating the man.

Burns, who was arrested after an ex-girlfriend contacted authorities, was also sentenced to 12 months of probation upon his release, the station reported.

An investigation into Burns started in October 2019 when his ex told authorities she believed she got HIV from him while the pair dated in 2013, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives later learned that Burns — who was diagnosed with the virus in January 2014 — had sex with three women without telling them his status. One was later diagnosed with HIV in 2017 after dating Burns a year earlier, authorities said.

Putting him in prison will stop the spread, right?

He would have gotten five years if it was COVID instead of AIDS.

California made it a misdemeanor.

Gentry will be the recipient of a number of other diseases once the prison Bubba’s get ahold of him. He’ll be a walking Typhoid Mary by the time he’s released.

So is looting anything under $900.00 no arrests.
