Prior to that time, the nurse had had several hiv tests (each time she gave blood, and one after having the saliva of an infected patent splash on her skin) and she had always tested negative. Her most recent blood donation was in april of 1994, and her blood tested negative for hiv at that time. In january of 1995, however, she tested positive for hiv. At that time, she accused her ex- boyfriend of deliberately infecting her during the argument back in august. He was brought to trial on charges of attempted second-degree murder.
