What to do with HIV-positive Jennifer Murphy and the Russian roulette she plays with her sex partners?

Sentencing of HIV-positive Jennifer Murphy, convicted last week on one count of aggravated sexual assault for having intercourse without using a condom, has been postponed as the prosecution asked for and got an adjournment. The Crown is considering having Murphy designated a long-term offender.

The 40-year-old, however, has defined herself as an HIV educator and addictions counsellor. Also, simply, a sexy woman.

In the prisoner’s dock of a Barrie courthouse on Tuesday, Murphy did not appear remotely sexy, though this is obviously a subjective opinion. Ashen, blowsy, maybe 30 pounds heavier than the last time we laid eyes on her nine months ago – time spent in custody.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
