MAN ON 10 YEAR MISSION INFECTS OVER 300 PEOPLE WITH HIV, POSSIBLY MORE

Hundreds of New York residents — and others across the country – may have been infected with HIV by a man who police believe has been on a ten-year mission to transmit the disease to as many people as he could. Today officials announced 8 charges of Criminal Transmission of HIV have been filed against Isaac Don Burks.

Police say Burks, 31, of West New York, knowingly spread the virus to a number of gay men in the New York area. Police say his potential victims could date back as far as 2003. Burks is described as a black male, six feet two inches tall, weighing 185 pounds. He is 31 years old with medium brown skin.

Burks’ mission to sicken his lovers likely stretched to other states including, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, Nevada and anyone he may have seduced via Adam4Adam.com, BGCLive.com, Grindr or the popular app Jackd as he did with four of the eight victims who came forward.

If only there had been a quarantine when this disease was first discovered.

oh boy Steph, you're finding some oddballs to post today.

I wonder what his motive was - was it to deliberately infect or did he just not care. He certainly had a prolific 'love' life.

Busted In Acadiana is like the Perez Hilton of crime reporting. He posts some crazy stuff that is out there. Sometimes we just need a break from the politics and a reminder that we are all on the same side here.

It should have been treated as a medical issue not a social one. Oh well, you can't put that genie back in the bottle.
