A court order has been issued to stop a Seattle man from infecting people with HIV. According to King County court documents a man identified only as "AO" has infected at least eight people with the virus.

"Based upon generally accepted standards of medicinal and public health science, it is believed that the respondent's conduct continues to endanger the public health."

King County Public health officials said he was diagnosed with HIV at the King County Public Health and STD Clinic at Harborview Medical Center back in 2008. If the man doesn't show up for future counseling sessions or doesn't follow the cease and desist order he could be jailed for contempt of court.

  Knowingly infecting someone with a life-threatening disease is 1st degree attempted murder. Let the punishment fit the crime.
