Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78455, member: 636"] A North Carolina man used his own blood as a weapon against hospital staff. Kameron Gilchrist pleaded guilty to assault charges for pulling out an IV and spraying his HIV positive blood into two employees' eyes at UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh. He was sentenced to jail time already served. The incident happened in March while he was receiving treatment. Court documents classified his blood, due to the HIV infection, as a deadly weapon. The two workers, a man and a woman, were exposed and experienced irritation, though no infection confirmation has been released. Gilchrist initially faced a more serious felony charge before the plea deal. He avoided immediate arrest after the incident because he required ongoing medical and psychiatric care. [/QUOTE]
