A hairdresser deliberately infected men he met on a gay dating app with HIV then sent them abusive messages, such as "LOL. Whoops!", a court has heard.

Daryll Rowe, 26, is accused of spreading the virus to four men, and of trying to pass it onto a further six, after he met them on Grindr in the Brighton area between October 2015 and December 2016.

Despite the other men's wishes, he would refuse to use condoms and in some cases deliberately tampered with them in order to infect his partners, it is claimed.

Afterwards he would send "mocking and abusive" messages to his victims. One allegedly said: "Maybe you have the fever cos I came inside you and I have HIV, LOL. Whoops!"

Another said: "I ripped the condom. You're so stupid, you didn't even know."

Rowe is being tried for four counts of causing grievous bodily harm and six counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm at Lewes Crown Court. He denies all the charges.

His alleged victims cannot be named for legal reasons, although one is reported to be a 25-year-old who had only previously had one sexual partner and believed Rowe was his boyfriend.

Rowe, originally from Edinburgh, appeared in court in a blue suit for the first day of his trial on 5 October. The court heard that Rowe was living there in 2015 when he was diagnosed with HIV.

Doctors believed he was "coping well" with the diagnosis but became concerned when he refused medicine. They explained he would be breaking the law if he engaged in unprotected sex and he gave them assurances that he would not.

A hairdresser accused of deliberately infecting a string of lovers with HIV thought he had cured himself by drinking his own urine throughout the day, a court heard today.

Daryll Rowe, 27, insisted alternative therapies were better to treat the virus and read online that taking prescribed anti-retroviral treatment would stop his urine killing it.

Rowe didn't like taking prescription drugs and was into health living and after being diagnosed with HIV read online about natural therapies that can help cure the virus, including drinking urine.

Today he told Lewes Crown Court: 'I thought I'd cured myself. I felt a lot better than I did before.'

He also told the jury he also used coconut nut oil, apple cider vinegar and olive leaf extract to treat genital warts and herpes.

Ewwwww, I guess he'd never used a condom in his entire life. I imagine he still has all of those if he only used information from the internet to treat them. :fish:
 
Urine? Really? So we don't have to keep spending millions on research and pharma medications? Sweet.
 
A hairdresser who deliberately infected his gay lovers with HIV has been jailed for life today.

Daryll Rowe, originally from Edinburgh, infected five men from the Brighton area and the North East with HIV while five others narrowly escaped contracting the life-changing virus.

The 27-year-old was handed a life sentence today and ordered a serve at least 12 years following a first-of-its-kind case.

Judge Christine Henson QC, sentencing, referred to his crimes as a 'determined hateful campaign of sly violence'.

'You are the first individual to be sentenced for Section 18 offences in the context of infecting others with HIV,' she said

'With the full knowledge of the risk you posed to others and the legal implications of engaging in risky sexual practices, you embarked on a deliberate campaign to infect other men with the HIV virus.

'Unfortunately for five of the men you met your campaign was successful.'

The judge added: 'They describe living with a life sentence as a result of your cruel and senseless acts. Many of those men were young men in their 20s at the time they had the misfortune to meet you.'

The judge told Rowe he poses a significant risk to the public, adding: 'You will potentially remain a danger to others for the rest of your life.'

A psychiatric report read to the court concluded Rowe's crimes showed a high level of sadism and violence and as such he was a high risk or causing serious harm to gay men through similar offences.

In mitigation Felicity Gerry QC, defending, said said Rowe was a vulnerable young man who needed 'treating' and should not be punished too harshly as he was also a victim of the virus.

'We reject the claim he showed any hostility towards any gay man, he is a gay man himself. It is not a terminal illness. Those who live with HIV have a good and high life expectancy. This is a case for a modern approach, away from the scaremongering of the 1990s.'

Rowe is said to have given the men the virus in a 'revenge' campaign on the gay community after he was diagnosed with HIV.

He sent a taunting message to one of victims, texting: 'Maybe you have the fever. I came inside you and I have HIV LOL. Oops!'

A man who was deliberately infected with HIV has bravely waived his right to anonymity to share his story.

Lenny, an American man living in Brighton, discovered he was HIV positive in February 2016 after Daryll Rowe secretly ripped the condom they were using.

Dubbed the 'HIV hairdresser' Rowe, from Edinburgh, became the first person to be convicted in the UK for deliberately infecting others with the virus and was jailed for life in April 2018.

He is said to have embarked on a 'revenge' campaign on the gay community after he was diagnosed with HIV himself, and met his victims on gay dating app Grindr.

Lenny is one of five men who tell their stories in new BBC documentary The Man Who Used HIV As a Weapon.

He told how Rowe was 'adamant' about having unprotected sex after the pair met online, and didn't tell him about the sabotaged condom until several weeks after they had slept together.

The harrowing BBC documentary tells the intimate and shocking accounts of the five victims, some of whom have never told their families, as they speak publicly for the first time.

It explores how, over 18 months, Daryll Rowe set out on a 'dangerous, nationwide campaign' to trick unsuspecting men into having unprotected sex with him.

Victims tell how Rowe would lie about his HIV status, sabotage condoms and later send abusive text messages taunting them with the virus, such as: ‘You have HIV. Lol.’

A total of 24 men reported Rowe to the police, but nobody knows how many others he may have slept with.

The victims' candid and revealing testimonies, read out in court, revealed the devastating effect of psychological abuse they suffered.

Producers also spoke to Rowe’s foster mother, Jacqui, as she tries to come to terms with and to understand her son’s crimes.

Rowe was handed a life sentence in April 2018 and Judge Christine Henson QC, sentencing, called the crimes a 'determined hateful campaign of sly violence'.

'You are the first individual to be sentenced for Section 18 offences in the context of infecting others with HIV,' she said
