Last year, a male Indiana Wesleyan University student was accused of rape by a woman who was trying to get incomplete grades for her fall semester. On December 11, 2019, while making her claim and trying to change her grades, she said she had been tested for STDs and found out she was HIV-positive.

A note from IWU Associate Professor Anneke Stasson included in the Incident Reporting From said, “It makes me really worried to think that the guy who gave her HIV is still on this campus.”
