I now get a chance to digest what this man, allegedly, did, including having sex with men and saying that he wanted revenge against women.
Really reminds me of Simona Fricker:
First the lacouray:
Simona had contracted HIV from her unfaithful husband (or boyfriend ?), who himself
had contracted the virus in the Caribbean.
She came to Tobago to get revenge and bring the virus back where
it came from. How many persons got infected by her is unknown.
Some "big" names were going around by that time.
I vaguely remember hearing that Simona was eventually killed in Europe by her estranged husband.

Title: CARIBBEAN-HEALTH: Wanted: 'Beware of' Signs on the Bedroom Doors
by Carol Martindale and Khadine Weekes
Over in Trinidad and Tobago a Swiss tourist, Simona Fricker, was
deported last week after confessing to having had sexual relations
with at least 15 men in one month. The deportation came on the heels
of public hysteria over the situation.
Over the last five months Fricker, HIV positive since 1993, has
been a frequent visitor to the 300 sq km tourist island of Tobago.
She has told immigration and health officials in the southern
Caribbean twin-island republic that she had informed her partners of
her condition before engaging in intercourse.
She is reported to have asked her partners to use the condom but
that they refused.
Fricker's partners it seemed had fallen victim to an attitude that
AIDS awareness programmes throughout the region have yet to wipe out
although they have given it substantial attention -- namely that it
is impossible to tell, just by looking, that someone is infected with
the AIDS virus.
''Some men still believe if they don't penetrate a woman completely
they cannot be infected, others feel that if a person looks healthy
they could not be infected,'' says Godfrey Sealey, a member of
Community Action Resource (CARe), a support group for HIV victims.
Fricker's partners were all from the large community of beach boys
in Tobago who sell sexual favours for money.
''I have had AIDS patients from Tobago who related their
experiences with white, foreign women taking care of them, taking
them on trips to Europe and buying them homes and boats in exchange
for sex,'' says Dr Edward Addoo, registrar at the San Fernando
General Hospital in south Trinidad.
Many of these women come to the tiny island with referral cards
from friends and with telephone numbers of men who had given these
friends a good time.
The men accommodate the women because invariably there is very
little else to do. Unemployment in the 25 to 44 age group in Trinidad
and Tobago is 25 percent. This is also the age group with the highest
incidence of AIDS in the country. Some 70 percent of the 1,700 known
cases are between ages 15 and 44.
The Fricker scandal is expected to worsen an already bad situation
not only in Trinidad and Tobago, but also around the region.
''At least Simona disclosed her status. There are a growing number
of HIV infected persons who are not disclosing their status
particularly to sex partners. With the country's reaction to Simona's
honesty, I expect there will now be even more secrecy,'' says Addoo.
The secrecy surrounding AIDS has not lessened since the disease
first gained regional attention in the last decade. Caribbean peoples
still remember the disease as primarily a homosexual one and fears
about the method of transmission are still high, despite numerous
state and private sector-funded education programmes.
An AIDS sufferer who goes public with his disease is often ostracised.

their condition, and this, of course, causes the spread of HIV, but not long ago,
there was a rather remarkable incident where a woman of Swiss nationality who
knew she was HIV positive landed in Tobago.
Her name was Simona Fricker, and
I am sure that, knowing she was HIV positive, she must have known that her
behaviour was going to end up killing a few citizens and spreading the disease
even further (pg.60)
