[HIGHLIGHTS] She had contracted HIV in a Swiss research laboratory: an Italian woman compensated

An Italian woman contracted the AIDS virus at the University of Geneva. She was carrying out scientific research as part of the Erasmus program.

She discovered she had HIV eight years later. Italian laboratories conclude the virus carried by the young woman “is identical to those which were designed in the laboratory’ The mystery remains regarding how she contracted the virus in Geneva in 2011. The Italian, whose identity remains confidential, carried out a study exchange in 2011 in Geneva. The University of Padua (North) on which it depended, said Wednesday the Italian woman was compensated.
