During his trial, which lasted 6 weeks, it was heard he embarked on a cynical and deliberate campaign to infect men with HIV, refusing treatment and ignoring advice from doctors.
He insisted on having unprotected sex with his lovers and lied to them that he was "clean". When they refused to have unprotected sex, he used a condom but he tampered with them, tricking his lovers into thinking he was practising safe sex. Afterwards Rowe would become aggressive and taunted some of the men in text messages. He repeatedly lied to authorities and would use aliases with his victims.
Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC read out statements from nine of Rowe's 10 victims, which she said showed the "devastating consequences" of his actions.
One of his lovers said Rowe told him after he'd had sex with him, “I have HIV, LOL, oops,” and this has left him considering suicide every day and doubtful of entering another relationship.
Another said: "Darryl has destroyed my life. I would rather he had murdered me than left me to live my life like this."
Today, Rowe was given a life sentence at Lewes Crown Court, of which he will serve a minimum of 12 years.
