HIV-infected prostitute should be on sex offenders' register: DPP

The ACT Director of Public Prosecutions has made an application to put a male prostitute on the Child Sex Offenders' Register.

Hector Scott of Kingston has pleaded guilty to providing a commercial sexual service while knowing he was infected with HIV and Hepatitis C.

While there are no allegations Scott is a child sex offender, putting his name on the register is the only way ACT Health can monitor his movements.

The ACT's chief health officer, Dr Charles Guest, is expected to give evidence at Scott's sentencing hearing next month.
