United Press International - Tuesday, March 23, 1999
Four men who say they had sex with 26-year-old Dwayne Cole have tested negative for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Cole learned he carried the virus in 1996 and signed a statement recognizing his legal obligation to inform potential sex partners.
He has been charged with failing to disclose his HIV-positive status to a sex partner, a felony.
Detective Marc Woodmansee said Cole told him he didn't reveal his status because he feared no one would have anything to do with him.
