'I can't even look at you after you knowingly gave me HIV'

Becky Mitchell's ex-boyfriend was jailed for five years for knowingly infecting her and another woman with HIV.

Becky Mitchell's ex-boyfriend was jailed for five years for knowingly infecting her and another woman with HIV. It was only the third conviction of its kind in UK legal history. She spoke exclusively to 5 live Breakfast since her ex-boyfriend Simon James was found guilty of 'recklessly transmitting HIV'. Becky says although she "never felt the need for a guilty verdict" it was "reassuring" to hear the judge's comments condemning James' actions.
