As ever, there is zero evidence that, despite the comment in the story, the infection was "deliberate".
I am more surprised that it's so hard to find the details. "A woman with HIV could infect you lads!" (my paraphrasing) was one of the HEA's more notorious ads, not least because the viewer was supposed to be horrified that she would look the same as she did now in several years time.

Yes they did - and I'm still waiting for them to send me a copy of their original paper. It was in response to that that the government repeated their view that a) trying to prosecute reckless transmission wouldn't work because of Clarence and b) it shouldn't happen, as a matter of public policy.
