Pop Star Nadja Benaissa has confessed to keeping her HIV status a secret to sexual partners. Benaissa broke down in tears at a Darmstadt, Germany courtroom apologizing for her sex acts.
Benaissa, 28, denied trying to infect anyone with the virus that causes AIDS. Benaissa recently went to trial due to an ex-lover who contracted the virus allegedly from her.
Benaissa faces 6 months to 10 years in prison. Benaissa is the mother of one child.
Once a member of the famous female pop group No Angels, Benaissa now has been charged with causing bodily harm or attempting to cause bodily harm. Her verdict will be on August 26.
Benaissa told the court that she found out she was HIV positive in 1999 when she was 16-years old and 6 months pregnant. Her lawyers claimed that doctors told her the chance of giving someone else the disease was "practically zero."
Benaissa reportedly had unprotected sex on five occasions between 2000 and 2004 with three men. She did not tell them that she had HIV reportedly. The man who brought Benaissa to court has not been named. He did not know that Benaissa was HIV positive until his aunt told him later on. He is HIV positive. (c) tPC
