GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -- A Grand Junction man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for infecting his son with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Prosecutors say 34-year-old Shad Skov had not disclosed his infection to his fiancee. During sentencing Friday, Shov apologized to the woman and his 1-year-old son.
In a plea agreement, Skov pleaded guilty to felony child abuse.
Skov's fiancee had tested negative for HIV two months into her pregnancy.
Doctors later discovered that both the woman and Skov's son were infected with HIV when the boy, who was significantly underweight, came down with pneumonia when he was 4 months old.
Two other women have told authorities they had sex with Skov after he had met his son's mother.
