HIV test anguish for dozens of black men after jailing of Aids attacker A victim of the woman who deliberately tried to infect dozens of black men with Aids last night urged her many lovers to seek urgent tests.
Sarah Jane Porter, 43, this week became the first British woman ever jailed for aiming to pass on the Aids virus.
One of her numerous ex-lovers said she did so as a
'payback mission' after a black man passed the disease to her in the first place.
But police have so far managed to persuade only four of the countless lovers the mother of one met in nightclubs all over the country to go through HIV tests.
One test, on a disc jockey aged 31, has so far proved positive, but Porter has refused to direct police to the many men she seduced into unprotected sex.
Porter's parents, Henry and Anita Porter, of Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and who put her through finishing school 25 years ago, have been left appalled at the discovery that their daughter is not only facing Aids herself, but deliberately sought to infect others.
Her father Henry, 72, said he had barely spoken to her since she had a son by a married black man six years ago.

Porter, a secretary at the West End training college of the elite Vidal Sassoon hairdressing chain, lived in a two-bed council flat on a grim estate in Kennington, south London, before starting her 32 month prison sentence.
She was reported to officers by an ex-boyfriend who is being named only as Paul, 37, who had a three month relationship with her after they met in a nightclub.
He discovered that she had unprotected sex with him in spite of knowing she was HIV positive, and was suicidal when had to go through harrowing tests before getting the all clear after three months.
'I really thought I had met the girl of my dreams'
He said anyone who had slept with her should seek urgent medical tests.
Paul said: 'If you've slept with her you could be HIV positive, you could be passing the virus to your wife, your girlfriend or boyfriend.'
Recalling their affair, Paul said: 'I'd seen her a few times before, and we got talking in the club.
'I was really surprised when she gave me her number. She seemed really into me. Sarah is a very, very good dancer. She has real presence and doesn't have to work hard to attract men.
'I really thought I had met the girl of my dreams.' Paul went on: 'Sometimes we used condoms but she didn't seem bothered if they broke.
'When one of her friends warned me she had "issues", I thought to myself, "Who doesn't?" The thought she might be HIV positive never entered my head.'
Porter was diagnosed as a HIV carrier in 2000, soon after she gave birth to her son - but Paul only discovered the truth after being told by a mutual friend that she was infected.
He confronted her at a barbecue at her home, and then informed the police in May last year.
Paul said: 'I asked her if she had anything to tell me. She told me she was ill, that she couldn't bring herself to tell me she was HIV positive.
'I went to the police because there was no way she could get away with this. I was suicidal.
'But the saddest thing is that all her friends knew but they didn't have the guts to tell me.'
The police launched an investigation but, astonishingly, Porter continued to have unprotected sex whilst on bail - even sleeping with one of Paul's friends.
Paul said: 'A friend told me he had slept with a good-looking blonde the night before. He said "Do you know Sarah?"
'My jaw just dropped. I knew he was facing the same ordeal as me.'
Men who fear they may have had unprotected sex with Porter are advised to call the Terrence Higgins Trust, which gives advice to those who believe they may be HIV positive.
But Lisa Powers, head of policy at the London-based Aids charity, has urged those who concerned they have been caught up in an epidemic to remain calm.
'Unless people have got reason to believe they have been exposed to the virus they should not rush to a clinic,' she said.
'It would be sensible to have a sexual health check if they have concerns, but only in the fullness of time.'
