Man Fakes HIV Test for Unprotected Sex

More details on the HIV-positive man who faked his HIV test to convince his girlfriend to have unprotected sex with him. The Daily News reports that Duane Lang, 48, "typed up an official-looking HIV test report from the AIDS Center of Queens," where he volunteered. The girlfriend, who had unprotected sex with him numerous times (she first wanted proof he didn't have HIV), later confronted Lang about the report; a source told the Post, "She caught him in a series of lies that made her question whether he had told the truth about the HIV test." Lang now faces charges of reckless endangerment, which could mean up to 7 years in prison. Department of Investigations head Rose Gill Hearn said, "With deceit and depravity, the defendant repeatedly endangered the life of a person he supposedly cared for. Rarely have we seen a forged document used in a way that is so directly and personally destructive to another human being."

#12 - why? Because rapists and murderers have such respect for women?

The man has no conscience. There's no point in ever listening to him when he talks anymore.

It'll take us years to come up with the awful manner of his punishment.

He may not get raped in prison, but they'll shiv the bee-jeezus out of him. Pig.

If I were a woman and some guy insisted on unprotected sex, I'd be pretty suspicious. Why does he want it so badly? Using a condom really isn't awful and most guys are just happy to get sex, with or without protection.

This makes me feel so sick, I can't believe this poor girl and what she must dealing with mentally, this is like the ultimate betrayal. He should get the death sentence, the last thing we need is to put him in jail so he can infect a bunch of them to.

I agree with DOI about the deceit part, but before declaring depravity I'd need more details about the actual sex.

He could at least have used protection.

wow, i can not believe someone would do so much to deliberately infect someone else.

Wza

Pretty much what everyone else has said.

All I can do is shake my head at this.

Does everyone still feel like demonizing gay people as the ones who are spreading diseases? Straight people are at least as bad.

Kojak

This is terrible. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

I feel very sad for his poor girlfriend. Sometimes it is hard to realize you are dating a scumbag!

I read this in today's METRO, unbelievable; this Duane Lang character epitomizes scum in such a literal way...he should be charged with attempted manslaughter, no less.
