Petty patient Kameron Gilchrist sprayed his own HIV-tainted blood into the eyes of two hospital workers in North Carolina and was collared for the sick stunt, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to an arrest warrant, Gilchrist, 25, is facing felony assault charges for allegedly attacking the emergency room personnel at the University of North Carolina's Rex Hospital in Raleigh in March 2025 by ripping an IV from his arm and directing the infected fluid at their faces.
Medical Treatment Delayed His Arrest
University of North Carolina's Rex Hospital staff were exposed to HIV-tainted blood during the assault.
Cops say Gilchrist was receiving diabetic treatment when he "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously" targeted the man and woman who had come to his aid. Investigators say the workers experienced eye irritation, in addition to being exposed to the virus.
Officials explain that Gilchrist was not immediately taken into custody because he was receiving medical and psychiatric treatment – but he was hauled in about six months later.
