(Newser) – A singer in Germany's biggest girl band has been arrested on suspicion of having unprotected sex while aware she was HIV-positive, the BBC reports. Prosecutors suspect that No Angels singer Nadja Benaissa had unsafe sex with three men after she knew she was infected, at least one of whom now has the virus. She may be charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Surely if you give someone an icurable, death-invoking illness, they should a punishment similar to homicide? Reply

Sorry, I don't buy this story. It is extremely rare for a woman to give HIV to a man during sex. Unless they shared a needle, this story is b.s. Reply

So I shouldn't think twice about having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman?
