Ugandan nurse Rosemary Namubiru, who is 64 and HIV positive, listens as she is sentenced to three years in jail after being found guilty of criminal negligence for allegedly trying to infect her patient with HIV, at Buganda magistrates court in Kampala, Uganda Monday, May 19, 2014. Namubiru maintained her innocence throughout the trial, saying there was no malice involved when she accidentally pricked herself one day in January and then used the same contaminated needle to give a baby an injection, and the conviction comes despite the work of international activist groups that had rallied in support of her, but many Ugandans see her case as a shocking example of malice or negligence by a trusted medical worker.
