Cambodian health authorities have found 212 villagers infected with H.I.V. in a district where an unlicensed medic has been accused of spreading the virus with contaminated equipment, according to findings released Saturday by the government and international health agencies. Prosecutors charged the medic with murder last month. The 212 people with H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, were discovered after the authorities tested a total of 1,940 people in the district in Battambang Province in northwestern Cambodia.
