55-year-old Yem Chrin has confessed to reusing needles and operating without a valid license in treating the villagers.
Chrin has since been charged with spreading the HIV virus to others, brutal murder and operating a medical service without a license.
The 212 infected villagers were discovered after officials tested a total of 1,940 people.
