Man with HIV charged with exposing woman to disease knowingly

A man accused of knowingly exposin a woman with HIV in 2014 is facing charges in Sumter.

Dexter Durham, 41, was arrested November 12 in North Carolina after authorities say he has been on the lam since August of 2014.

A woman contacted police in 2014 saying that Durham knowingly exposed her to HIV between 2010 and 2012.

He has since been charged with failure to report a contagious/infectious disease. Investigators said Durham learned of his infection in 2005 and may have exposed others to the disease.

The 41-year-old has since been released on bail. If convicted he faces a fine up to $5,000 and a maximum of 10 years in prison.

Authorities are asking if you have any more information on this case to call Sumter Police at 803-436-2700 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
