Nushawn Williams HIV Status Now In Question

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A stunning twist in the case of a man in prison for infecting a number of women with HIV.

Today, it was revealed in court that Nushawn Williams is not HIV positive.

Sixteen years ago, when Nushawn Williams was tested for HIV by the Chautauqua County Department of Health, he was positive. Now, his lawyer says it isn't the case. Williams' attorney, John Nuchereno, had a court-ordered blood draw sent to the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Channel 2's Claudine Ewing sat down with Nuchereno and asked him about the new blood test results.

"There's a PhD Scientist professor at the medical school who did a thorough examination with an electron microscope and found absolutely no evidence of HIV in Nushawn Williams blood," says Nuchereno.

The Art Of Fly Fishing

 

SOUTHERN TIER, NY-Like many outdoor pursuits,the sport of fly fishing becomes more intricate as experience is gained. Although all fishing requires a strong knowledge of the environment and it's cycles, fly fishing by it's very nature takes that knowledge to a more intimate level.

Especially this time of year, the quarry for many fishermen is trout on small streams. That means that the savvy angler needs to present a realistic bait, which is usually one of the many aquatic insects completing their life cycle and emerging as adults.

Rick Kustich is a seasoned fly fisherman,and has written several books on the subject." Basically what we're trying to target is, these insects live in the water, they mainly live on the bottom of theses streams, and at certain times of the year, certain species emerge to the surface , and that's when they're susceptible to trout. So understanding that emergence and when different insects emerge is the key."
