Radio New Zealand Checkpoint reported last night that 57 people turned up at just one of a number of sexual health clinics in the country reporting that they had had sexual relations with an HIV-positive man who media were reporting at that time was facing 28 charges of deliberately infecting people with the HIV virus. They were just some of those very keen to be tested for the HIV-virus, having had unprotected sex with this “extremely sexually promiscuous man” … Mr Glen Richard Albert Mills (deceased).
The Dominion Post reported today that an inquest into the jail-cell death of the same man accused of deliberately infecting numerous lovers with HIV has been told he used text messages and internet dating sites to recruit partners, and was on antidepressant medication at the time he died.
Glenn Richard Albert Mills, 40, was found dead at Auckland’s remand centre at Mr Eden prison on the morning of November 30, 2009. Mills, an HIV-positive former train driver, had been in custody for several months and was to appear in court that day facing charges of deliberately infecting people. He faced 28 charges relating to 14 people – 11 men and three women….
Detective Sergeant Andrew King told the inquest a doctor contacted him in early 2009 because he thought Mills might be responsible for infecting young men with HIV. Mills used telephone and internet dating sites to recruit partners. He was a regular at bars, clubs asnd gay saunas. Mr King said records from Mills’ two known cellphone numbers showed he had sent more than 60,000 texts in six months. Police tried to download his messages from a well-known dating webdsite but there were “so many” they gave up.
Of the 14 people who accused Mills of having sex knowing he had HIV, seven were infected with HIV and seven were not. The youngest was 18, the oldest 44. Earlier a man, 27, said he met Mr Mills in Novembrer 2008. The pair had sex once, preceded by a heated debate about using a condom. “Glen was very anti-safe sex …” After ther man fell sick he contated Mills, who admitted he had broken the condom.
