The trial for German pop singer, Nadja Benaissa began this morning in Darmstadt, Germany. The 28 year-old mother of one has been charged with bodily harm after one of her several sexual partners filed a complaint against her. Benaissa had unprotected sex with up to three men, without warning them about her being HIV-positive.
The 34-year-old stared at her in the courtroom saying: ‘You caused me so much grief.’ He said he had sex with her five to seven times over a three month period in 2004, at least three of which were without condoms. He maintained contact with her after their affair ended and said it was her aunt who told him in 2007 that she was HIV positive.
The man told the court, ‘My quality of life has shrunk enormously. I cannot travel to many countries. I have been told by my doctor my condition can become full blown Aids at any time. My income is halved but this is not about money. I am getting nausea all the time.’
He said her management offered him a deal to remain silent about her HIV but he said he wanted her to go public with it and pay 100,000 euros to an Aids research charity.
If she had done this, he claimed, he would not have gone to the police.

Nadja’s defense is that she was told that the chance of her infecting a partner was ‘more or less zero.’ If convicted, Benaissa may face a maximum sentence of ten years.
