San Diego Man Pleads Guilty to Spreading HIV

Thomas Miguel Guerra knew he had HIV when he began a relationship with another man but lied about his status, according to the city attorney's office. After telling his partner he was HIV-negative, Guerra encouraged his boyfriend to have unprotected sex with him. Months into the relationship, Guerra's partner tested positive for the virus. The partner would later discover that Guerra knew he was HIV-positive at the onset of their relationship. Guerra's partner filed a complaint with the San Diego Police Department in August of 2013.
