Police in north China's Tianjin Municipality have detained a man for spreading rumors that he had got infected with HIV and "successfully transmitted the disease to a college girl," sources with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said.

After the 21-year-old suspect, surnamed Meng, flaunted this deed via a WeChat group chat, many Internet users re-posted the messages and screenshots, causing public concerns and worries, said the MPS.

When the police found him on Dec. 3, Meng confessed he made up the claim to draw public attention. A test afterward showed he was negative.

The man from northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was taken into custody for 15 days.
