A Zimbabwean woman who breastfed a neighbour's baby without her consent faces a possible two year sentence for deliberately infecting another HIV after she tested positive.The 39 year old suspect Annie Mpariwa appeared in court on Wednesday. The court was adjourned to October 24, 2013 to allow a second HIV test to be performed on the toddler because the child's initial result turned negative.
The mother of the 14 month old baby said watching her neighbour breastfeeding her baby is so traumatising. *o yea! it should be*
She alleged that her neighbour snatched the baby while she was playing outside and hid her in her room. After searching for the baby for many hours, she went to Mpariwa's rented apartment, knocked and got no response only for her to peep through the window and caught Mpariwa in the act of breastfeeding her little baby girl. #This is so disheartening; feeling for the mother right now#
"i was shocked and nearly fainted when i saw my baby leaking milk from Mpariwa's breast even when she wasn't nursing a baby neither was she pregnant" she said.
The charge was raised "Deliberately infecting another person with HIV".
Things happen i must say.. That baby's mother would never forget such incident in a hurry; it is so disheartening.
