Testimony began Thursday in Hall County Superior Court for the trial of an HIV-positive woman charged with reckless conduct. Gainesville resident Heather Nix, 36, is alleged to have illegally withheld knowledge for more than eight years of her HIV status from then-husband and longtime partner Kevin Franklin. “He’s lived for all these years exposing himself, without knowing the risk he’s been taking,” Assistant District Attorney Juliet Aldridge said in opening statements.
