US: 31-year-old man charged in Georgia with “assault by HIV infected person” for spitting at police officers

Reports added that when officers arrived on scene he spat on them, it was later discovered that X is HIV positive, making the crime a felony.

X is charged with three counts assault by HIV infected person upon police officer, three counts obstruction, two counts disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
