Three counts of the same charge have been filed in St. Louis for acts Gregory committed between March 2010 and last month. Under Illinois and Missouri laws, victims do not have to become infected with the virus in order for charges to be filed. The 26-year-old Gregory, who was arrested in Collinsville, Is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond in the Madison County Jail. Assistant Police Chief Thomas Coppotelli said the charges are rarely filed. However, he says what Gregory was passing on is "a silent killer." - http://goo.gl/V0u8K
