Overview

• Kameron Gilchrist, 25, faces two Class H felony counts of assault or affray causing physical injury to emergency room personnel, according to an arrest warrant.
• The March 21 incident at UNC Rex Hospital allegedly occurred while Gilchrist was receiving treatment, and the warrant cites eye irritation and exposure to HIV for both employees.
• Public records do not state whether the blood was Gilchrist’s or whether either employee contracted HIV.
• Gilchrist was arrested on Sept. 11, is being held at the Wake County Detention Center on a $25,000 bond, has not entered a plea, and is due in court on Dec. 8.
• If convicted, each count carries a potential sentence of up to 39 months in prison, and UNC Rex says it prioritizes employee safety as violence against health workers becomes more common.
