Dr. Boyce: Meet The Handsome Man Who Had No Problem Passing His HIV
by Dr. Boyce Watkins – BlackLikeMoi.com
A former professional wrestler who went by the name “Gangsta of Love” and “Sweet Sexy Sensation” has been sentenced to 32 – years in prison for having s*x with women without telling them that he’d tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS. Andre Davis, a 29-year old man, was sentenced on 14 counts of felonious assault in the case, after it was determined that at least a dozen of his partners were not made aware of his status.

This is such a touchy subject because its not fair for him to get sentenced for so long in jail. Yes he didn’t tell his partners but at the same time they aren’t stating if he had s*x with them using protection or if anyone was infected. I clearly remember the case with the U.S air-force solider had HIV and was having unprotected s*x with individuals but he didn’t receive jail time and he kept all of his benefits. This is not fair and yet its just. If he wore condoms and no one was infected with the disease he should be sentenced at least 8-10 yrs in prison. However i believe 32 is over kill,unless he had unprotected s*x with the women and women were infected.
How would u feel? If he did to your sister or mother or your child. Better yet to you, know would think it’a alright for this man to walk around. Get a gripe on life, they should lock him up cut his p****r off and give him breast implants. And never lock his cell, but we all have “FREEDOM OF SPEACH”
I totally agree Val. He had a disease & he thought like this. Ima give this s**t 2 everyone he didn’t care he don’t have nothing 2 live 4 the damage has already been done. It’s ok when u find out u have cancer. That can b cured. It’s another when u find out u have AIDS or HIV. No one wants 2 live with that 4 the rest of there lives. So yes he knew exactly what he was do n.
Sweetie, if he had used a condom he would not have been convicted of his crime.
I think you would feel DIFFERENTLY IF IT YOU OR MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY THAT got infected…They should lock him UP FOREVER!!!
This man got chump change compared to those 14 ppl’s “LIFE SENTENCE”. I think it isn’t enough! He should have it chopped off! The courts won’t prosecute ppl who have s*x with ppl who r protected….Why? CUZ THAT’S WHAT CONDOMS DO!! PROTECT! Even if it came off or broke..He made an attempt 2 protect!
Did he get 32 to life r just 32 ? I think he should be on death row , he knew he thought it through and still had s*x. Premedicated murder yes he should be on death row awaiting that injection. AIDS full blown ,is a death sentence ,have you seen what these peolpe go thru ? its a terrible and very painful for the person , there family signific other,this is something you don’t wish on your worst enemy if you have a heart ,this disease is nothing too play with,we need to teach more Aids awareness to the young and old.
I absolutely agree with you, Shaniqua A. Whether the young man engaged in UNprotected s*x, or infected any of his partners are factors which are as important or critical in determining his sentence as whether he was aware of his H.I.V. status. You make a very thoughtful and rational assessment.
Rational??? Was it “rational” when he was intimate with those women, knowingly, that he had a deadly disease??? Not only is Shaniqua’s statement “unrational”…it is irresponsible and asinine. The monster received the CORRECT punishment for the crime…CASE CLOSED!!
What he did was sick deceitful and heartless. He knew He was HIV positive and still chose to take away their freedom to choose by purposely witholding the fact he was infected. He made a conscious decision to decieve them. What he gave them is a potential death sentence he should be treated no different than man who attempted murder multiple times.
it does not matter if he infects any one he should get life for risking someones life nobody has the right to risk a life that does not belong to them
Accidents cause more deaths in america than AIDS. A 2500 lb. object, moving at 60 miles an hour is not safe by any means. You mitigate the risk and try to make it as safe as possible. Is it morally wrong to knowingly engage in unprotected s*x if you are infected? Of course. But everyone is aware of the risk of unprotected s*x and should take steps necessary to limit those risks. When is the last time you asked someone before you got down and dirty ” o by the way, do you have aids? “I don’t here of any women going to jail for a man asking if she is on birth control and her saying “YES” then getting pregnant. Then getting a pay check from him for 18 to years for a child that he is not allowed to be involved with. Situation is a little different but that happens all the time and everyone says ” well he should have worn protection.”
I agree with j. If women were getting time for pulling that bull then there would be less pregnancy. Now he is wrong for not putting anything on,but if we go by this example then women who give s**t should be in jail.
HOW IN THE h**l can you compare a child being born to a FATAL DEBILITATING DISEASE! This is not the forum to beat up your “baby mama’s”, another time another page! He should rot in h**l, how many times have YOU told a woman that “it doesn’t feel the same when she asked you to use a condom!”
Hence the reason NO GLOVE MEANS NO LOVE!!! People PROTECT yourself and your partner!!!
I am torn on this decision because others have a responsibility to go to get tested with the partner, and sit in on the results together. How many are being that responsible. Instead, we are blindly trusting someone with our lives to pass on not just a disease, but other issues as well (unplanned pregnancies).
What he did was wrong, and violated the law. However, there needs to be some culpability placed on the women that openly slept with him, perhaps unprotected and unwisely went into s*x with him.
We need to use this as an opportunity to educate our youth of the dangers out there, because when I was coming of age the worst thing to happen was pregnancy, and penicillin killed everything. These days, children can not afford to make the mistakes of our generation. As you can see, it could cost them their lives.
I couldn’t agree with you more Adrienne. There is RESPONSIBILITY ON BOTH SIDES BUT him knowing about his illness LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. im just sayin. Who’s to say when he get out he’d start doing the same thing again??
To much talk has gone on for too long about HIV and AIDs everyone or 90% of america now should know about the dangers and risk you take with unprotected s*x, He should go to jail for breaking the law, but ot for the rest of his life. That’s just abuse, another person gave the example of a woman getting pregnant after telling the partner they used birth control that happens a lot and the women are not charged with anything and make a profit. The risk anyone takes when they are involved with someone sexually should be shared that means even if you tell me you don’t have HIV or you are on birth control it should be the individuals responsibility to protect themselves for there own actions beyond the expected accountability of the other party.
Amen
its not right to have s*x without giving this type of info and can be embarrassing however you still should give people a choice on the matter if they wanted to take the risk
The sentence is just. It doesn’t matter if no one was infected , the mere fact that this man cared more about getting his without regard to another human beings’ life is unforgivable!. All a person has to do to believe in this sentence is to see , know or have contact with an “Innocent” and watch them get sick and die from this horrible disease. It is not a peaceful way to go. The possible suffication from Pneumonia, the systemic damages of TB and KP and the overall toll that the body, family friends endure is overwhelming.
I can’t say what his sentence should be but these women should have protected themselves. That is their temple and regardless of how good he look or how sweet he talk. Trust nobody with your life. As tu can see AIDS IS REAL.
I was an HIV Educator certified through the Red Cross. When a person gets a positive HIV test, they encourage them to tell their s****l partners about their status. Too Many people SELFISHLY will not tell their partners or use PROTECTION! His sentence is what he deserves. The women should have been given the opportunity to say no, and his s*x addiction is bunk. Some people want to take others with him. Pray for these ladies, and hope they never have the horrors of and HIV diaganosis
I would say that the sentence is a little excessive.. But it is also just.. I too am torn at the topic. I think we as adults and teens have the right to have that information told to us.. But we also have the responsibility to protect ourselves. HIV has been around long enough that everyone knows the risk involved with sleeping with someone just because they look good. You should always know the status of the person you decide to sleep with. The days of one night stands are over.. Or internet hookups should be careful of what they are asking for. Men and women both should demand to know the status of their partner before they decide to lay with them. Getting tested together takes the pressure off both parties. That way there is no surprise later about I should have told you.. And I think they should get tested often together especially if they plan on being in a relationship. Just because one test don’t show HIV anti-bodies don’t mean you can’t get infected. That is why they say get tested and then get retested 6 months later. Only after being in a committed monogomus relationship and ready to start a family should you talk about unprotected s*x. I say these things being of the former.. I use to be the one that would look at her and be like she looks ok.. But my eyes have been opened by the cases I see in the news and hearing the facts that come from the CDC about Bi-s****l men. That is scary that they not only risk their lives but put the lives of our women in jeapordy… Please, Please, Please Men and women think with the head on your shoulders… They always say men think with the little head.. But lately there have been plenty of women thinking with the little girl down stairs.. Put her on ice till the results come back.. Condoms break, so just because you make them wear one isn’t giving you carte blanc to jump into bed…
Think my people and we all shall live
@Michael Grant: as a certified HIV/AIDS Counselor and tester in the state of NC, anyone who tests positive is required to give the names of the s****l partners. A person is then given the choice to inform previous partners or have one of the Disease Investigative Specialists inform the partner, (without disclosing who infected them). Although this man is guilty because he knew his status, the women he had s*x with are just as responsible for getting infected as he is because they failed to protect themselves. African American people DO NOT take this disease seriously. Just because a man or woman looks good does not mean they are STD FREE. In 2009, African Americans comprised 14% of the US population but accounted for 44% of all new HIV infections. We are responsible for protecting ourselves. HIV testing is free and confidential. NEVER HAVE s*x WITHOUT A CONDOM…EVER! No s*x is worth losing your life! We can’t blame the white man for this one, because the information is out there, it is up to those having indiscriminate s*x to listen. If you don’t you could end up like the women Andre Davis infected!
@ Deb, I totally agree with you.. We need to stop pointing the fingers at everyone else for the choices we make.. When we do point that finger.. We need to remember that there are 3 more pointing back at us for the reasons we are at fault. And the women and men that get infected for the most part aren’t getting raped or drugged and infected. They are willingly jumping into bed with the partner for the pure pleasure of the moment. That being said, we need to wake up as a community and stop looking for other to protect us. The simplest thing to do is keep your body clean, but we will quickly jump into bed with someone without even taking a shower. So how could we expect to know the status of someone by looking at them. Wake up America, protect yourself and you in turn protect everyone else. And I also agree the information is broadcasted daily about the risks of HIV.. So they can’t even use the old saying of keeping the ignorant by putting it in books because they won’t read.
U do the crime do the time and if didn.t tell his own family u no he didn.t tell the females he was sleeping with so sad.
He was absolutely wrong for not telling his s****l partners…but let’s focus on these ladies for a second. They are stupid as h**l! I imagine they were groupies trying to get in with a “celebrity” and possibly get pregnant, or hope that her “P” was the one that would make him put a ring on it. Unprotected s*x should be done in absolute caution (maybe in a long term relationship AFTER testing). Women SHOULD care for their bodies more and limit the opportunity for risks like this. You meet this guy, have unprotected s*x with him the same night..what makes you think he didn’t have unprotected s*x with another woman the night before? what makes you think he won’t with another woman the night after? Women can be so stupid ( and yes I AM a Woman). This behaviour isn’t limited to just women, but men also. People need to be more respectful of themselves and others.
His sentence is his sentence..whether it’s too long or not could have been avoided if he was honest. He shouldn’t have endangered other peoples lives the way his was (to catch the dang thing in the first place)
O.K. I normally just read comments, but this time I have to say my piece, I see what people are saying, but any guy I know, would be very angry at a woman if she knew she had VD and still had s*x. That’s something that can affect me physically and could possibly leave permanent damage or death. Now yes, unless you are drunk or something, I can never think of a single time I had s*x (before being with my wife of course) that the thought of catching something or getting a woman pregnant (even in the cases when I wore protection) did not cross my mind!! Now if I was to get a woman pregnant, I know that’s still my fault!! Heck, I got away lucky several times and this time I got caught. I mean, even if she was intentionally trying to get pregnant, I came to realize well that’s just what some women do when they want to create a permanent attachment, or feel that you are someone who is financally advantagious and even then she can’t guarantee she will get pregnant.
But if she got and VD and heaven forbid HIV, and she knowingly gave it to me, that is by no means anywhere close to getting pregnant, pregnancy gives life….HIV/AIDs can KILL!! Go to Jail fo Life!!
As an outside observer, this (along with other issues) seems to be a chronic problem among todays black youth. Imagine your daughter being infected by this young black. How would your perspective change then?
HE SHOULD GET LIFE AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS DONE TO HIM, I AGREE TOTALLY. BUT WAT ABOUT D WOMEN WHO WAS FOOLISH ENUFF TO LET HIM s*x THEM WITHOUT PROTECTION.. IT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH SIDES.. THESE WOMEN SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL WITH THERE LIVES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE WOMEN, BUT HOW MANY OF THEM CHOSE NOT TO USE DAT PRECAUTION.. WAS THESE ONE NIGHT STANDS OR A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP THESE WOMEN THOUT THEY WERE HAVEING WIT DIS GUY???? BECUZ OF THERE CARELESSNESS THEY HAVE GAVE THEMSELVES A LIFE SENTENCE AND D PEEPS WHO CARE ABOUT THEM ARE ALSO AFFECTED. THIS WORLD IS TO CRAZY TO TRUST ANYONE , IF HE REFUSES TO WEAR D PROTECTION THEN ASK HIM TO GO GET TESTED IF HE REFUSES DAT ITS NOT WORTH IT. THERES PLENTY OF MEN, WHO ARE WILLING TO GO D EXTRA MILE , DONT LIVE A RISKY LIFE FOR ONE PERSON WHO DOESNT SEEM TO CARE IN D FIRST PLACE.. PEEPS WRAP IT UP AND GET TESTED. U NEVER KNO WHO HAS AN STD AND DNT EVEN KNO IT THEMSELVES.
Ok everyone has there righr to say what they want. So how the truth none of these women have he never gave it to anyone.. And he always used condoms.. Yes he should have told them but he was not tryi. To hurt these women. Also what does it have to do with him being black would it be different.if he was white???????
Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
my take is that every one he slept with have been sentence as well you lock him up they are locked up too if they are responsible they have the same life sentence he does by right if they are infected with the virus they cant sleep with any one but themselves its a lot to think about you are doomed for the rest of your life to be alone because no one in they right mind will sleep with you let alone shake your hands have they kids around and family may disappear too im just putting that out there.
I have a question. Does anyone know if one can get time for this except having herpes? It isn’t as life threatening as HIV but its still life long.
Either way, I believe he should have gotten life. He knew what he was doing. There is no denying that. He knew he was HIV positive and just sleeping with whomever he pleased. For what?! Probably because he wanted to get back at the world because some sick b***h that did it to him. Is it justified? No. I’m sure that was the reason behind it.
On a side note to someone else previous comment. . . . I have most definitely stopped and asked a guy if he was clean.
That is all.
I am one of Andre’s victims. I have read so many opinions on this topic but unless you’re the victim, nobody will ever understand. I did not sleep with him because i was a “groupie” or because he had money, in reality, he was broke. I knew him for a while and developed feelings for him. We had the STD talk and he denied having any at all. We did use protection at first, then we stopped. I don’t feel like I’m at fault at all, this is all his doing. Thankfully, i tested negative. He wasn’t convicted for passing it to anyone, is was because of failure to disclose his status. He never gave me the option to choose if i wanted to take the risk, he lied to get what he wanted. It’s the same as pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger. Even if the bullet misses, the intent was still there to harm the person. He deserves every second he has to sit in prison, it will give him plenty of time to think about the people he hurt, infected or not.
who is really at fault here? this piece of hog shhhht or the women who opened their legs for him?
to DK if u ever read this …. thank Yahweh that you didn’t catch anything but u said you had the std talk…. what the h…ell is that supposed to be?
talking is NOT testing!
i’m married to my husband for almost 27 years now but the onl
i don’t know what happened but i didn’t finish my comment but anyway…..
as i was saying i’m married to my husband for almost 27 years now but the only person i trust completely in this marriage is ME!
i can only be sure of what I’M doing!….
too many married women have died from aids/hiv thanks to the trust they had in their husband.
my husband and i are tested regularly for ALL diseases.
in this day and age there is absolutely no excuse for demanding that you see your partners recent tests results even if you do use condoms because as we all know condoms don’t protect u from shhhhhT…
be blessed
Condoms are not used as regularly because men tend to be incompetent and suffer from some form of prostate problems when wearing a condom. Both partners are in need of satisfying each other and they take risk and remove the rubber. This is common practice. there are female condoms used, and the men complain it feels like they are inside of a bag. excuse, excuse, it seems they rather catch Aids or be had by someone like this rebellious jerk.
Shaniqua A: You are one sick woman. You must want him to get out earlier, so that you can get with him, and get some of that good Ole Aids. There is something terribly wrong with some of you women. I am a man, and I know that if some woman, was going around intentionally spreading the Aids virus to men, I would want that filthy animal, to receive the death penalty, but at least life in prison. Some of you women, wouldn’t give a d**n if this guy was a mass murderer, (which he could possibly become in the future, if any of his s*x partners would evidentially become ill and die) as long as the guy looks good to you. It is you, and other women that thinks like you, the type of women that men dogs, and abuses, because you are weak, stupid, and needy. If you need a man this bad, why don’t you search the prisons? I’m sure you’ll find some murderer, rapist, or woman abuser to serve your appetite.
