A medical officer in Uganda has been apprehended after he allegedly tried to lure a female patient into having s3x with him to give her negative results for a HIV test.
According to reports, the woman was sent to a HIV testing facility situated along Lumumba Avenue by a labour export company, a mandatory requirement for domestic workers seeking travel to the Middle East.
It is at the premise where she met the suspect, did the tests, and was asked to head home as she awaits to be called back to collect her results.
“She did the tests on February 6. On February 14, she was called by the suspect to go pick her results. The results indicated that she was HIV positive, which she disputed. She did another test at another facility and results came out negative,” Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire told the Daily Monitor on Sunday.
Since the labour company required a report from the recommended testing facility, the woman is said to have taken the negative result slip to the facility and met the suspect.
After a brief conversation, it is alleged that the suspect offered to give the victim negative results only if she would offer sex in return.
The victim is then said to have unwillingly accepted the deal, but secretly informed the labor company who contacted the police.
After arranging for a meetup at a hotel in Kampala, where they would engage in their said deal, the police secretly trailed the victim and waited for them to enter when they made their move and busted the suspect.
“She informed our officers and they tracked the duo until they were in the lodge and it was time to have sex. That is when our officers stormed the area and arrested him and later took him to Nateete Police Station,” said Owoyesigyire.
Owoyesigyire said that the suspect might be facing attempted rape charges which attracts life imprisonment on conviction.
