A hairdresser has been found guilty of infecting four men with HIV and trying to infect six more between October 2015 and December 2016.
Daryll Rowe, 27, was found guilty of all the charges presented at Lewes Crown Court after a six-week trial.
He insisted on unprotected sex with his partners, many of whom he met on Grindr, or sabotaged the condoms of men who refused.
One victim told of how Rowe bullied and threatened him into having bareback sex, before sending flippant texts revealing he was HIV-positive.
He told one victim, who was later diagnosed as HIV-positive, “Maybe you have the fever… I have HIV LOL.”
Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC described his crimes as “a cynical and deliberate campaign to infect other men with HIV”.
During the trial, the court was told that Rowe sent mocking text messages telling partners he was HIV-positive and that they could be at risk.
One received a text saying: “Maybe you have the fever. I came inside you and I have HIV LOL. Oops!”
