A mental health patient with HIV has told doctors he may have infected women he met at two nightclubs.
Women who had unprotected sex after visiting After Dark Club, in Churchgate, Leicester – which has now closed – and the Burlington Club, a private club in St Peter's Road, Highfields, are being urged to get tested.
Public health officials said they could not reveal the number of women who may be involved, but the man has told them he visited the clubs between 2002 and 2007.
It is believed the fears only came to light in the past few weeks, after the man – who has tested HIV positive but has not been identified – told doctors.
Dr Philip Monk, a consultant for the Health Protection Agency in the East Midlands, said: "It is important that women who attended these clubs and had an encounter which led to unprotected sexual activity with someone they met that night follow our advice.

Understandably, they are likely to be extremely concerned, but it is important they seek advice as soon as possible.
"It is important for them to be tested so the infection is not being passed on.
"There is also treatment that can enable them to live near-normal healthy and full lives."
The man, who moved to Leicester in 2002, also admitted having sexual relationships with a number of women he met at the Brandon Unit, an adult inpatient mental health centre run by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.
He is being cared for by the NHS outside of Leicestershire.
Managers at the mental health trust said they had been able to identify all patients who may have been exposed.
They said there was no suggestion any of the sexual encounters took place at the unit.
A helpline has been set up for them to call for advice and counselling.
Antony Sheehan, the trust's chief executive, said: "We are confident all the women have been contacted.
"Although a person may have mental health problems, it doesn't mean they cannot take clear decisions on other aspects of their lives.
"There is no suggestion any activity was other than consensual.
"But we are mindful of the potential vulnerability of these women and have taken every step to follow up the letters through teams providing medical help and emotional support."
Anyone who thinks they may be at risk can ring a special NHS Direct number, on 0845 603 0897.
People with concerns can also visit the genitourinary medicine clinic at Leicester Royal Infirmary – which provides a walk-in service each weekday from 9am to noon – or call the sexual health and contraception clinic on 0800 756 6277.
