A man who knowingly gave a woman HIV, and may have infected seven others, has been jailed for four years.
His victim only found out that she had caught the virus after she read his text messages.
Zimbabwean Nkosinati Mabanda, 44, was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm. The court had heard that he showed a 'blasé attitude' towards HIV.
His victim, a woman from Darlaston in the West Midlands, discovered he was HIV positive after finding a text from his secret fiancee on his mobile phone.
The two women began to talk and his fiancee advised the victim to get an HIV test. The test came back positive and Mabanda was immediately reported to police in April 2009.
Mabanda, of no fixed address, told detectives he had sex with seven more women, but they have so far been impossible to trace.He was also handed an anti-social behaviour order which prohibits him from engaging in sexual activity with any person without first disclosing his HIV status to that person.
After his release, details of the sentence will be passed to the Home Secretary, who will consider whether Mabanda should be deported
Speaking after sentencing, superintendent Jan Thomas-West said: 'The particularly disturbing element of this case is Mabanda's blatant disregard towards his victim and his various other partners.
'Mabanda told officers that he had had sex with nine women in the UK and that seven of them had not known he was HIV positive. Unfortunately, these women were impossible to trace
