Dentist sentenced for intentional HIV transmission in Porto Velho

HIV intentional transmission Porto Velho Rondônia sexual violence criminal conviction

A dentist in Porto Velho, Jean José Dunga, has been sentenced to five years in prison for intentionally transmitting HIV to his partner. In addition to the prison sentence, he was ordered to pay R$ 50,000 in compensation to the victim.

Following his initial conviction, the Public Ministry of Rondônia (MP-RO) requested a new preventive detention in a closed regime, citing an imminent risk of further contaminations. A judge granted this request on Wednesday.

Investigations led by the MP-RO's Victim Assistance Center (Navit) suggest that Dunga may have intentionally infected at least four women, with authorities suspecting there could be additional undiagnosed victims. Dunga is currently facing other legal proceedings regarding similar accusations.
