<html><div style='background-color:'><P><STRONG>I'm more than a little shocked. . . I thought this crime would be considered similar to attempted murder. The man is a walking time bomb. It's not even a matter of IF he's HIV positive. The authorities know he is. . . they've already verified it. And I suppose they'd turn him loose in a heartbeat if his buddies pool their beer money to spring him. Not only am I shocked, I'm angry.</STRONG><BR><BR></P>

<H1>Hearing set for Moscow man facing HIV charge</H1><BR>
<ADDRESS>By DAVID JOHNSON<BR>of the Tribune</ADDRESS>
<P><A name=story></A>MOSCOW -- A Dec. 20 preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a Moscow man charged with a felony count of transfer of body fluids that may contain HIV.
<P>Kanay A. Mubita, 31, remained in the Latah County Jail Friday night on a<STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000> $5,000</FONT></STRONG> bond after being arrested Wednesday by Moscow police. Latah County Public Defender Charles Kovis has been assigned to the case.
<P>Mubita is accused, according to the criminal complaint, of having sexual intercourse with a woman one year ago without first informing her that he carried HIV. The virus can lead to AIDS.
<P>The woman, 27, has a child that Mubita told authorities he fathered, according to an affidavit filed by Moscow police officer Paul Kwiatkowski.
<P>Mubita, who was born in Luska, Zambia, denied having sexual relations with anyone else except his ex-wife, according to records. But an investigation found that Mubita tested positive for HIV and allegedly "continued to have unprotected sexual relations with different partners" without first notifying them of his HIV status, according to records.
<P>Authorities also questioned Mubita about whether he had sexual relations with a 26-year-old female, but he denied knowing the woman, according to records.
<P>Mubita's arrest came after prosecutors forwarded documentation to police, according to records. Kwiatkowski wrote in his affidavit that Mubita agreed to be interviewed and came to the police station Tuesday on his own. While he was being interviewed by one officer, another officer called a health department official who confirmed, according to the affidavit, that Mubita had been informed several times that he tested positive for HIV.
<P>But Mubita, according to the affidavit, continued to deny having received notification from anyone about his HIV status. When police asked him to make a written statement, Mubita asked permission to go home and write it, according to the affidavit, and police agreed.
<P>The next day, according to the affidavit, police received a phone call from Mubita's case worker who said Mubita was upset about the previous day's interview. The case worker asked police to check on him, according to the affidavit.
<P>When officers contacted Mubita at his apartment, he said he had indeed tested positive for HIV, according to the affidavit.
<P>The intentional transfer of body fluids which may contain the HIV virus is punishable by a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
