Pop singer says she’s sorry she may have infected partner with HIV
German pop star Nadja Benaissa says she’s sorry she may have infected a partner with HIV.
“I was careless,” the 28-year-old on trial for grievous bodily harm and attempted aggravated assault said according to the Guardian. “I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.”
The lead singer of No Angels, a top selling group, found out she had HIV at age 17, but still had sex with several men, authorities allege.
Benaissa claims she didn’t infect the man on purpose and was told that it was highly unlikely that she could infect a partner.
Her prosecution has been controversial with some arguing that it demonizes people with HIV and AIDS and the men are also responsibility.
Yeah, but…
Benaissa’s unidentified accuser said he had unprotected sex with her three times.
“You have unleashed a lot of misery into the world,” the 34-year-old told the singer according to the newspaper.

It should demonize people with Aids who knew or should have known they have it and do not disclose to another person. Turn the tables.

Demonise? Are we so politically correct now that protecting society from those who willfully transmit a deadly virus is not as important as protecting those who willfully transmit a deadly virus? I’m sorry, but if you know you have AIDS/HIV, and you have unprotected sex, you are WILLFULLY transmitting, whether you want to believe it or not.

I’m sorry I put a loaded gun to your head and pulled the trigger. I’m sorry I pushed you into a raging river. I’m sorry I pushed you out of an airplane without a parachute. Yeah, try those in court.
