A local police department in southeast Missouri confirms the arrest of an HIV-positive man who published reports say admitted to having sex with hundreds of men without telling them his health status.

The Dexter Police Department confirmed the arrest of David Lee Mangum, 37, of Dexter, whose case prompted Stoddard County Prosecuting Attorney Russell Oliver to publicly urge anyone who has had sex with the suspect or with an anonymous male they met on the Craigslist classified site to cease sexual activity and get tested immediately for the HIV virus. Police say Mangum may have exposed more than 300 sex partners to HIV.

Magnum is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Thursday morning at the Stoddard County (Mo.) Justice Center in Bloomfield, according to records on file with the Missouri Office of the State Courts Administrator. The agency says he was arrested Aug. 28 on a charge of recklessly infecting another with HIV when "knowingly infected," which is a felony. Bond has been set at $250,000.

The charge carries a possible sentence of life in prison, according to The Daily Statesman.

The case blew up after a man saying he was Mangum's former live-in partner approached the Dexter Police Department to file a complaint against Mangum, who he says infected him with HIV, the Statesman reports from an affidavit filed by Dexter police Det. Cory Mills of the Dexter department.

The man, identified by the Los Angeles Times as D.B., said he met Mangum through an ad on Craigslist, the online classified site, and that Mangum assured him before they had sex that he did not have any sexually transmitted diseases, according to the affidavit. They lived together from November until June when D.B. said he learned Mangum was sleeping with other people and ended the relationship, according to the affidavit.

Magnum told police he was diagnosed with HIV in Texas in 2003 and that he'd had more than 300 sexual partners since then, the Times reported. Fifty to 60 of those partners also lived in Stoddard County, the Times reported.

据《今日美国》9月5日报道，美国密苏里州警方证实，该州一名携带艾滋病毒的男子隐瞒自己的病史，和300多人发生了性关系。

现年37岁的戴维•曼格姆来自密苏里州东南部的斯托达德县。根据密苏里州法院管理办公室的记录，曼格拉在8月28日被当地警方逮捕，并将于当地时间5日上午9时受到斯托达德县司法中心的传讯。

曼格拉被指控故意将人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）传染给他人，这是重罪。据当地媒体报道，曼格拉可能会被判处终身监禁。此外他或许还将面临25万美元的罚款。

斯托达德县检察官拉塞尔•奥利弗公开呼吁曾经和曼格姆或一位在免费广告网站Craigslist上结识的匿名男子发生过性关系的人停止性活动，并立即去检查是否患上了HIV。

据《洛杉矶时报》报道，曼格姆告诉警方，他在2003年被诊断出患有HIV，自那以后他和300多人发生过性关系，其中五六十人也住在斯托达德县。

曼格姆一直对性伴侣隐瞒艾滋病史，直到一名受害人报警，此事才得以曝光。这名受害人说，他是通过Craigslist网站上的广告认识曼格姆的，曼格姆向他保证自己没有性传播疾病。他们从去年11月到今年6月一直在一起，直到该男子得知曼格姆同时与其他人保持性关系，这才结束了这段关系。
