Meas My, a HIV-positive Cambodian man jailed for 10 years, as his wife charged him for having sex without using condom.

The 40-year-old man was arrested in January last year after his wife complained to police about his refusal to use a condom during sex.

Before hearing of the case, on Thursday, prosecutor Ngeth Sarath told Reuters that, "Her husband did not respect her love toward him. We cannot tolerate is acts."

According to the court official it was the first conviction under AIDS laws introduced in 2003.

Cambodia, a Buddhist majority country, has one of the highest HIV and AIDS infection rates in the Asia-Pacific region.
