A 27-year-old Toledo woman who has a lengthy loitering and solicitation record was indicted by a Lucas County grand jury yesterday for soliciting sexual acts knowing she is HIV positive.
Elizabeth Curtis of 1222 Baker was charged with engaging in solicitation after a positive HIV test. She faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
According to a police report, she tested positive for HIV in March, 2008.
Ms. Curtis was arrested Nov. 17 on Lagrange Street after she approached the parked car of undercover officers and offered sex acts in exchange for money. She told the officers condoms weren’t needed because she was “clean,” police said.
During a subsequent records check and interview, police found Ms. Curtis had learned she was HIV positive last year when tested at a women’s shelter.
She told the detective she works as a prostitute “almost every day” and “often” has sexual intercourse without condoms.
