A Ugandan
court has sentenced a nurse to three years in prison for negligence over the
potential infection of a two-year-old boy with HIV.
BBC reports
that Rosemary Namubiru, who is HIV-positive, was criminally negligent by using
an intravenous needle, that she had accidentally pricked her finger with, on
the child, the court ruled.
The child was
not infected and HIV/Aids activists condemned the trial.
The case was
keenly watched and some papers dubbed her the “killer nurse”.
The
boy’s father, Daniel Mushabe, welcomed the ruling, saying he hoped the case
would spur President Yoweri Museveni to sign into law a bill which criminalises
the transmission of HIV.
