False HIV diagnosis shadows ex-convict

A former convict who was misdiagnosed as being HIV-positive and transferred to a prison with infected inmates has refused to accept the compensation awarded by a court in Henan province.

Sanmenxia's Hubin district court awarded Liu Jianguo 100,000 yuan ($14,540) in damages on Dec 13 after he sued the city's prison authority and center for disease control.

Yet the 57-year-old has appealed, stating that the amount is too small to cover the mental strain placed on him and his family by the misdiagnosis. He is demanding at least 400,000 yuan.
