Louise Durning is a double murderer of ex-con rapists with HIV. She killed Thomas Marchek and Craig Moss for intentionally infecting women with HIV, including Gloria Palmera, Marchek's ex-girlfriend. Durning, as a court-appointed counselor, had an obligation to tell Gloria when Marchek bragged in their sessions, which left her to snap.

Durning fully confessed once she was found out and revealed she was a victim of HIV infection herself after being raped nine years before. She resolutely said she wouldn't make it to trial from developing AIDS and was closer to dying from her failed immunity. The case led Elliot Stabler to worry briefly if he was infected, because he saved Gloria from a suicide attempt and lost much of her blood at the scene. (SVU: "Victims")
