A mother-of-three infected with HIV by a boyfriend who hid his diagnosis from her says her life has been ruined by the attack which has condemned her to 'a life sentence of misery'.
Kara Wilkinson, 42, began a relationship with undertaker Alan Mason, 45, in 2010 without realising he had been diagnosed as HIV positive two years earlier.
Mason only revealed he had the illness in October 2011, 18 months after the pair began dating, when Miss Wilkinson became ill following a holiday to Spain.
Since being diagnosed Miss Wilkinson, a former counsellor from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, has suffered from heart attacks, pneumonia, osteoporosis and severe hair loss.

Today Mason starts serving two years and eight months behind bars for grievous bodily harm, but Miss Wilkinson says she has blasted the sentence for being too lenient.
She said: 'He’s ruined my life. I’ll never forgive him for what he’s done.
'He should have been sent to prison for five years. And what’s to stop him doing it to another woman when he gets out?. He’s given me a life sentence of misery.
Alan Mason, 45, was diagnosed with HIV in 2008 but didn't tell Miss Wilkinson about his diagnosis when they began dating in April 2010
