ST. CHARLES, Mo., Feb 13, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) -- An HIV-positive Missouri man
has been charged with having unprotected sex with a woman in St. Charles County
without warning her she might get AIDS.
Michael Bergman was jailed in lieu of $250,000 bail, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
reported.
Investigators say Bergman may have had sex with five people, both men and women,
since learning he was HIV positive. They are trying to trace his partners.
Bergman allegedly told the woman he believed she was already infected with AIDS
-- "I don't want to lose you, I love you and I figured we could be sick
together."
If the woman turns out to be HIV positive, Bergman could face more serious
charges. He was charged with recklessly risking another person being infected
with HIV, which carries a prison term of 5 to 15 years.
