Pakistani police say a court will allow a doctor with HIV and AIDS to remain in police custody to determine whether he knowingly spread HIV to over 150 people, mostly children, by using contaminated syringes.
Local police chief Wasim Raja Soomro said Monday that Dr. Muzaffar Ghangharo was detained last week, and has denied the charges.
Soomro said the initial investigation indicates the doctor had intentionally spread HIV since early April while treating patients for the common cold, diarrhea and other diseases.
