Doctor's 'HIV hand luggage'
A consultant lost his job after carrying a sample of HIV-infected blood in his hand luggage while flying from Africa to the UK, a High Court judge heard.
Tubonye Harry, a genito-urinary specialist at the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, Norfolk, was returning from Nigeria, where he did private work.
Details of the case emerged as the High Court ruled on a dispute between Dr Harry and the General Medical Council, which suspended him.
Mr Justice Burnett terminated the suspension, saying it was "disproportionate".
