FORMER lovers of convicted AIDS infector Chris Muronzi have contacted NSW police believing they may have contracted the disease from the 44-year-old, who has been jailed after he kept secret from a partner he was a carrier of the virus.

The women came forward after it was revealed Muronzi infected another woman, with whom he had a nine-month relationship in 2002.
Muronzi had known for years he was infected but did not tell her.
Last month he was jailed after pleading guilty to maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm on the woman. He was jailed for four and a half years.
During his sentencing a number of women contacted The Daily Telegraph saying they had AIDS and had also been in a relationship with Muronzi. That information has been passed on to police, who are now investigating.
"I was also diagnosed with HIV last year and have had an on and off thing with Chris Muronzi, the man in your article, over the past 10-11 years. He never disclosed his HIV status to me either,'' one woman said.
It was a similar story to the one told by another young woman when she walked into Maroubra police station in 2011 and said she believed she had been infected by Muronzi during their relationship almost 10 years earlier.
The next day police interviewed Muronzi, who was then 42 and working as a financial controller and living in Neutral Bay. So began the case which culminated in last month's sentence.
Detective Senior Constable Ryan Morgan, the officer in charge of the case, said initially Muronzi ''didn't say very much at all''.
"The investigation began with accessing his medical records and interviewing doctors who had treated Mr Muronzi,'' he said.
It unfolded Muronzi had attended the Albion St Clinic in June 1993, where he was diagnosed with HIV.
"At that time the doctor informed Mr Muronzi of his legal obligations in relation to informing any partners about his status, and subsequent doctors also told him,'' Senior Constable Ryan said.
He said it was blatantly obvious from his medical records that Muronzi was aware he was a carrier and was being treated for years for HIV.
Muronzi initially pleaded not guilty but, as the evidence mounted, changed his plea.
The clincher came when police were able to prove the victim's strain of HIV originated from southern Africa near Zimbabwe, where Muronzi came from, after spending more than $12,000 on DNA testing.
Also blood samples taken from both the woman and Muronzi at the time were found and fresh samples taken for analysis.
The woman is now married and still living in Sydney and yesterday told The Daily Telegraph yesterday it took many years of coming to terms with the illness before she felt she could tell police.
She said her diagnosis left her with "issues of feeling violated, of betrayal and trust".
"I have been trying to quantify the impact of unknowingly acquiring HIV ... due to the dishonesty and recklessness of Chris Muronzi who I put my trust in as a partner," she said.
Muronzi will be eligible for parole in September 2016.
