According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution Angela London, 41, was dating her boyfriend for nine months when he found a bottle of HIV medication. He confronted her and she admitted to being HIV positive then fled to Texas. There is currently a warrant out for her arrest as Georgia state requires all HIV positive individuals to disclose their status before sexual intercourse or sharing a needle.

When her boyfriend found her prescription medication used to treat the virus, he confronted her, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the AJC. Angela London, 41, previously of Marietta, admitted to being infected, according to police.

Then, she moved to Texas. But she could be on her way back to Georgia to face a felony charge of reckless conduct for not informing the victim that she was HIV positive before having sex, according to police.

State law requires that HIV-infected  people disclose their infection status to another person prior to sexual activity or before sharing injection drug needles, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
