Dozens of young women in a Romanian town are awaiting the results of
an HIV test after discovering at the funeral of a local Romeo that he
had been suffering from Aids.
According to DailyMail, the funeral of Daniel Decu, 24, which was
attended by many of his lovers when he was buried this week turned into
an angry shouting match when it was revealed he had contracted the
disease.
Although he was registered as living with the condition it only became known to the public when an
autopsy
was carried out and a coroner’s report published. And incredibly, it
was also revealed that when a local doctor in the town tried to warn
people he was suffering from the disease, he was threatened with a
lawsuit by the man’s mother.
Doctor Cornel Stanciu, their family physician, knew that Daniel was HIV positive and tried to make his
health condition public after the 24-year-old had a relationship with his daughter. But when Daniel’s mother
found out what the doctor was doing, she had threatened to sue him unless it stopped.
The doctor said:
‘I knew he had a lot of female friends but there was nothing I could do about it.’
Some of the women had found out before the funeral that he had been
living with Aids, and at least two of them have so far been confirmed
as HIV-positive. In total 40 women have applied to have the test done
and are awaiting the results, said prosecutors.
Although it is impossible to take any action against the dead man,
those who knew about his condition and said nothing, such as his mother
and other family members, are being investigated.
AIDS remains the
only disease specifically mentioned in a Romanian criminal law, which
says the transmission of the virus by a person who already knows he or
she is infected can be punishable with a jail term of between five and
15 years. However the law specifies that there is no need to inform a
physical partner of the infection, but there is an obligation to
practice safe sex.
Social media pictures show Daniel with a string of girls on his arm. Nicolae Popa, the mayor of Segarcea, said:
‘The boy’s mother is to blame for the terrible situation that we
now find ourselves in. It is only now that it has become clear that
the family physician knew he was HIV positive and tried to make the
situation public. When he started to do so he was threatened with a
lawsuit by Daniel’s mother.’
Doctor Stanciu said:
‘I started to warn them, but from the moment they told me to
stay silent and not say anything, I didn’t. I’m not surprised that we
now are in the position that we are, because he had many female
friends.’
