A North Carolina man has been arrested for allegedly unhooking an IV from his arm spraying HIV-positive blood at two hospital staffers while receiving treatment for his diabetes. 25-year-old Kameron Gilchrist was arrested on September 11, and is now facing two charges for assaulting emergency personnel at The University of North Carolina’s REX hospital on March 21, an arrest warrant revealed.
Gilchrist tore his IV from his arm and “[sprayed] HIV blood into the eyes of [the] victim” as the pair of medical staff were “discharging [their] official duties,” said the warrant, which was obtained by People. The warrant specified that he "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did assault a hospital employee ... By spraying HIV blood into the eyes of victim."

It remains unclear if the HIV-positive blood belonged to Gilchrist. It is also not known if the two staffers who were assaulted by him contracted HIV after the exposure.
Raleigh police said that it took some time to book Gilchrist as she was receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at the time of the incident, according to WRAL News. A spokesperson with UNC Health Rex confirmed that the hospital is working closely with law enforcement and additional security teams in order to boost safety and pursue charges in cases of violence against its staff.
