Several readers have e-mailed me this report from The Australian, but every one of them has quoted a different line from the story. It pretty much has something for everyone:

A man charged with deliberately spreading HIV allegedly tricked his lover – who had registered himself with the local council as a dog – into having unsafe sex on the basis he could not transmit the disease.
Melbourne Magistrates Court heard yesterday that Michael Neal, 48, accepted a dog tag from his lover as a “sign of commitment” in their master-slave relationship. Mr Neal, who is said to have set up a webcam to broadcast his sexual activities live on the internet, allegedly “deliberately contracted” HIV by having sex on the altar of a Catholic Church with two men he knew were HIV-positive.
The divorced father of three is charged with setting out to spread the virus… Mr Neal’s view echoed that of his Victorian Aids Council doctor, Nicholas Medland, who was in correspondence with the Victorian Department of Human Services and telling officials that if Mr Neal’s viral load levels could be kept low he would be “uninfectious”.

Apparently not.
