Nasty story.

It also highlights the taboos surrounding H.I.V. and homosexuality that Dubai residents say have allowed rampant harassment of gays and have encouraged the health system to treat H.I.V. virtually in secret. (Under Emirates law, foreigners with H.I.V., or those convicted of homosexual activity, are deported.)

This is true. We get a blood test each time our work visa is renewed (every 3 years) and if you got HIV they don't renew you. I don't know anyone that has happened to, which is odd because prostitution is rampant (and I mean rampant!), but a friend said some of his stewardess colleagues got booted due to failing their blood test.

The doctor, an Egyptian, wrote in his legal report that he had found no evidence of forced penetration

Sounds like the kid is going to lose the case.
