HIV Positive Maid Laces Child's Porridge With...

    Has the child been diagnosed as HIV+? It would be highly unlikely that they could contract the virus from ingesting blood, although the risk would increase if they had oral sores or ulcers. That's not excusing what she did - its a despicable thing to do to a child entrusted in your care and largely unforgivable.

    Good God
    If its any consolation HIV is a very weak virus and there is little chance the kids would get it this way, but probably not impossible. Lets hope.

    Some sources say she got a 12 month sentence with two months suspends as long as she doesn't commit a similar crime in the next 3 years.

    It also says that what she was doing was only discovered on the 13th of February and the case happened 11 days after. The court system works fast in Zimbabwe!

    In fact so must the lab technicians because it seems very fast for it to be established that her blood was in the porridge, that it was menstrual blood as opposed to regular blood and that it was HIV+. When was this confirmed?

    I don't know much about CSI Masvingo but 11 days from finding your child eating something suspicious to a conviction of the maid for putting her own, particular type of blood, infected with a particular disease sounds rather fantastical.

    Who, the mother? For employing a child as a maid?

    That kind of speed would be fairly typical in Zimbabwe. They probably checked the blood type and using that and the fact that the maid's blood and the blood on the porridge were both red, they decided she was guilty. Menstrual fluid of course isn't just blood, but you would still need a DNA comparison to determine who owns the blood.

    DNA comparisons take weeks. Unless you're a wealthy Zimbabwean, in which case they take hours if you slip the police chief a few trillion dollars.

    She wouldn't be the first 17 year old to get a job...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    The mother should be done as well for making her kids eat porridge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭Friel


    Why only 10 years for doing something like that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Im glad she got a long period in prison.

    actually thats how HIV spread from monkeys to humans.


    basically SIV originated in monkeys which later spread to chimps (as chimps are known to kill and eat monkeys) and became HIV and the starvin marvins in africa killed and ate these chimps not knowing they carried HIV.... it then spread from the now infected chimp poachers to the rest of human population in the villages via sex, the rest is history as they say it.

    I found the start of that video really creepy. Secretly filming someone is so weird and out of order, I'm very glad my babysitting days ended in the mid-90s.

    Words can't describe how ****ed up that is.

    Any word on the kid? I assume HIV can be passed that way and presumably they've done tests.

    It would be very unlikely to pass on this way i would say.

    Ok yes it's disgusting and weird to do. But 10 years in prison? What is that going to do. She's obviously a bit mental and needs some help.
    Perhaps she won't do it again in 10 years time but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    You do realise that article is nearly a decade old and some of the information in it has since been disproved, right? HIV-1 is now most commonly accepted to have come from particular gorilla and chimp tribes in certain parts of Africa and to have been transmitted through simian to human bites or from a situation where someone was butchering infected meat and cut themselves.

    HIV can be acquired through the gastrointestinal tract but not commonly. The odds are the child did not contract the disease though it is still too early to know for sure. It may also be possible, seeing as how she appears to have come from a reasonably wealthy family, that she was treated with antiretrovirals.

    I just have images of the maid straddled over the pot, blood dripping- the child won't look for jam in her porridge again...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭woodoo


    Awful awful woman. It would be hard to wish anything other than a miserable death for her.

    If I was her employer, I'd be worrying about what other menstrual treats she's made before.
