  WICHITA — Tech. Sgt. David Gutierrez, stationed at McConnell Air Force Base, has been charged with aggravated assault, accused of knowingly exposing others at "swinger" parties to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

  Charges were read this morning in military court.

  U.S. District Court Documents that had been available online briefly said Gutierrez attended at least 21 such parties, where promiscuous sex is common among multiple sexual partners.

  Charges expected against McConnell sergeant over HIV exposures

  WICHITA — Charges are expected sometime this week against a sergeant stationed at McConnell Air Force Base who may have knowingly exposed people to HIV at swinger parties, including one at a barn in Goddard, a military spokeswoman said.

  Linda Card, chief of public affairs for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, said she expects charges to be filed in military court.

  Court documents in the case indicate that a profile on an adult website showed that the sergeant attended 21 swinger parties from January 2009 to July of this year. Sex, often with multiple partners, is common at such parties.

  Lt. Col. Andree Swanson said the investigation is ongoing, and the sergeant remains in custody at McConnell.

  "There's a legal requirement to go to court martial within 120 days after he was placed in confinement," Swanson said Monday. "So it should be wrapped up by Dec. 9 unless defense requests a delay. It's Air Force policy to try to get it done in 90 days."

  How many people may have been exposed to HIV at the parties has not been made public.

  On Wednesday, Sedgwick County Health Department Director Claudia Blackburn will give commissioners an update on sexually transmitted infections in the county.

  A county report says that the number of new HIV and AIDS cases has averaged between 45 and 62 per year for the last two years.

  Most likely, he didn't do either of the above.

  I didn't think such things went on in my fair city.

  Sergeant charged in HIV cases

  WICHITA— Tech. Sgt. David Gutierrez will face an Article 32 hearing, similar to a civilian grand jury, on Oct. 5 to face charges accusing him of having sex with people at area "swinger" parties and not informing them of his HIV- positive status.

  The Air Force has formally charged Gutierrez, who is stationed at McConnell Air Force Base, alleging one charge with 11 specifications of aggravated assault.

  He also faces one charge of violating an order on multiple occasions, one charge of indecent acts on multiple occasions, one charge with 10 specifications of adultery and one charge of obstructing justice.

  The charges are based on allegations that Gutierrez engaged in unprotected sexual relations with multiple people in the Wichita area without telling them he was HIV-positive.

  The Article 32 hearing will determine if there is sufficient evidence to refer the case to a court-martial.

  The investigation continues, and individuals who may have information relevant to the investigation may call the Air Force Office of Special Investigations at 316-759-4124.

  The Sedgwick County Health Department will also take confidential calls at 316-660-7300. Anyone who thinks they may have been in sexual contact with a person who has a sexually transmitted disease should get tested as soon as possible.

  Just as a side question - could (or would) this piece of trash have been charged if he had not been in the military?

  And just as a second side question - is it still true that HIV/AIDS is treated differently in terms of registration of persons carrying the disease than other VDs (like syphilis)? That difference, IIRC, was largely made due to fanatical protests of AIDS activists in the homosexual community back when the disease was first discovered and given attention.
