A six-year-old Mucheke boy in Masvingo has been infected with deadly STI after being routinely forced to use his tongue on a 45-year-old HIV-positive prostitute private parts and have sex with her.

Mercy Muchemwa, would on several occasions suck the boy's manhood and demand that he does the same to her and later offer the boy cash ranging from $1 and $2 after each act of abuse, a court heard.

Muchemwa - a close friend of the boy's mother - would allegedly force the victim to have sex with her, saying she liked his "little boy energy."

The matter came to light when the boy was diagnosed with an advanced form of STI, which was not specified in court.

Muchemwa was not asked to plead to a charge of aggravated indecent assault on her initial appearance on Friday.

The magistrate remanded her in custody to June 24 for trial.
