A MAN has posted videos on YouTube in which he claims to have deliberately "infected" thousands of women with AIDS.
The masked-man - who calls himself “Trashman†and speaks with an American accent in a series of clips posted on the video-sharing website - claims to have "infected" between 1200 and 1500 with the disease.
In the videos, Trashman reads the names and ages of some of the women he claims to have had unprotected sex with.
President of People Living with HIV/AIDS Victoria, Brett Hayhoe, said the man “does seem genuine†in the video clips.
AIDS can only be contracted once a person has been infected with HIV, but Mr Hayhoe said the man may have lumped the two together.
“It’s extremely disturbing (and) the guy needs psychiatric help,†Mr Hayhoe said.
