Summary: A.I.D.S. Tests Ordered After Rape By Doctor (Press, 21 May 1987)
In a shocking development in Zweibruecken, Germany, authorities have mandated A.I.D.S. tests for more than 100 women after a doctor, Dr Manfred Beck, confessed to raping them while they were under anaesthetic. The revelations surfaced after one victim, who had returned to the doctor for an A.I.D.S. test, raised concerns about potential infections. Dr Beck, 44, was initially denounced in April by a patient who regained consciousness prematurely and reported the assault. In addition to his disturbing admissions, Dr Beck disclosed that he identifies as bisexual and is a former drug addict. Although subsequent tests on him returned negative for A.I.D.S., medical authorities caution that these results are not definitive and the possibility of infection remains. Responding to the gravity of the situation, the Regional Health and Justice Minister has ordered all former patients of Dr Beck to undergo A.I.D.S. testing to ensure their health and safety.
