A Cumbrian man who is HIV positive has been jailed for knowingly infecting his former partner with the virus.
Alan Mason, 45, of Endmoor, Kendal, knew he had the virus for five years when he started a sexual relationship with the woman, from Barrow.
Carlisle Crown Court heard he only told her when she began to feel unwell after contracting the disease herself.
He was jailed for two years and eight months after admitting causing the woman, 39, grievous bodily harm.
