trips on a visitor visa in southern Taiwan has tested positive for HIV, possibly infecting hundreds of clients, announced Tainan City police today (April 18).
During an investigation of a case of a man posing as a cop to rob people engaged in illicit sex in recent days, police happened upon a Thai woman suspected of engaging in prostitution who goes by the name “Alice.” After submitting to an HIV test, she was found to have contracted the disease.
Police found that since October of last year, Alice had already visited Taiwan five times, all on the pretense of “sightseeing,” but in fact to engage in the sex trade in hotel rooms.
Alice confessed to police that she had sex with seven to eight clients a day during her visits to Taiwan, with each trip lasting around 15 days, at the most that could be 120 customers per visit and a total of 600 over five trips. [FULL STORY]
