(St. Charles, Missouri) A 26-year-old mother of four, Angela D. Harris, currently faces three felony counts of recklessly risking another person with HIV infection. Harris became HIV-positive around the age of 14 and has since had many sex partners. Harris' mother, Cathy Lenceski, estimates that her daughter has had sex with as many as 100 people in the last five years. It's not clear how many knew they were at risk of acquiring HIV. Lenceski fears that Harris will continue infecting people is she's not stopped. Not unexpected has been an increased number of inquiries regarding HIV testing since the Harris story hit the media.
Harris was arraigned yesterday before Circuit Judge Jon Cunningham on the three felony counts, each of which carries a possible sentence of five to 15 years.
