A Ghanaian man known as Japhet Osei age twenty-three has been sentenced to five(5) years imprisonment after he was found guilty of lying to his girlfriends and knowingly infected them with HIV.
According to reports, Osei lied about his HIV status to his two girlfriends and also kept it as a secret from them before later infecting them with the deadly virus.
The court revealed that Osei did not use protection with a 17-year-old girl and encouraged a cautious second woman to have unsafe sex because she was his girlfriend. He also failed to accept the help Doctors offered him.

Osei also forged a text message that stated he had undergone a check-up in a sexual health clinic where he tested negative to having HIV.
The court stated that not only did Osei conceal that he was HIV positive, he kept secret that his particularly high viral count meant it was more likely he would infect partners through unprotected sex.
Both girlfriends cannot be identified for legal reasons and were referred to as Miss A and Miss B throughout legal proceedings, quickly fell ill and tests showed Osei had passed the virus onto each of them. Expert analysis found they shared exactly the same strain of the virus.
