Italian couple charged for years of hiding daughter's HIV status and neglect

Prosecutors in Bologna, Italy, are seeking charges of grave mistreatment leading to serious injury against a couple accused of concealing their nine-year-old daughter's HIV-positive status during pregnancy and denying her medical care for years, resulting in severe illness before a hospital visit in 2023. The child was born outside a medical establishment and only later received treatment; the parents deny deliberate harm and claim some medical care occurred in Spain. A May hearing is planned to determine intent.
