Police: “Known prostitute” exposed man to HIV

A Rock Hill woman is behind bars after a man told police he had sex with her when she knew she was HIV-positive.

The victim, a 42-year-old Rock Hill man, told officers he picked up 40-year-old Kimberly Thompson in late August and drove her to the 900 block of Blackmon Road where the couple engaged in intercourse.

The man told police late last week he had become aware that Thompson was HIV-positive and that she knew she carried the virus when they engaged in the act.

Police documents released Monday show the arresting officer checked previous booking slips which indicate Thompson was HIV-positive. The report also identifies Thompson as a known prostitute.

Thomson was arrested for Exposing other to the HIV virus and remains in jail on $25,000 bond.
