The court heard how McClure ignored clear advice from doctors not to have unprotected sex after he was diagnosed with the virus in 2006,following his return from Thailand.

His unsuspecting victim,identified in court only by her initials and who cannot be named for legal reasons,only found out she was infected when she went for blood tests after becoming pregnant,the report said.

Her baby was born prematurely the next day,but recent tests showed that the infant was not infected.
