A hospital patient allegedly removed an IV from his arm and used his “HIV positive blood” as a weapon by spraying it into the eyes of medical personnel.

 

According to an arrest warrant obtained by Law&Crime, 25-year-old Kameron Gilchrist was being treated for diabetes at UNC Rex Hospital on March 21, 2025.

 

Gilchrist began spraying “his HIV positive blood at the victims’ eyes” by “removing his IV from his arm,” according to the warrant.

 

It was not made clear if the victims, both hospital employees, contracted HIV.

 

Gilchrist was not arrested until September 2025 because he was still receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at the time of the incident and could not immediately be arrested, per local outlet WRAL.

 

He has now been charged with two counts of assaulting emergency personnel.
