Court of Justice of Rondônia Mateus Santos/g1 The Court of Justice of Rondônia (TJ-RO) informed g1 that the sentence of the Porto Velho resident denounced by the Public Ministry of Rondônia (MP-RO) for intentionally transmitting HIV to several women should be issued in the next few days. He has been awaiting the decision in prison since June 10. The suspect's name was not officially released. The case is being processed in secrecy in the 1st Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women in Porto Velho. According to the court, the case is in the final arguments phase and the responsible judge should issue a sentence in the next few days. ? Unlike the jury trial, in which there is a set date and in-person trial with jurors, in this case the procedure is conducted only by the judge. All evidence has already been produced, witnesses heard, documents attached and expertise carried out. Now, after the final arguments, it is up to the judge to analyze the evidence and decide whether the defendant will be convicted or acquitted.

The complaint points out that the suspect has been aware of his own diagnosis for around 10 years and chose not to adhere to antiretroviral treatment. The hypothesis is that he did not want to undergo treatment precisely to transmit the virus to the people he interacted with. ?Properly carried out treatment keeps the viral load undetectable and prevents transmission. According to the Public Ministry of Rondônia, the man faces two different charges. The first brings together three victims who sought the organ in 2025. Even though he was already a defendant in a criminal case, he continued to have relationships with other women, which led to the emergence of a fourth victim months later. This new complaint resulted in the opening of a second case. The Rondônia Court of Justice, however, does not specify which of the two cases will be judged now.
