Disturbing news:
HIV infected Miami Beach club promoter arrested
By Karyn Chenoweth Oct 3, 2007, 15:29 GMT
Miami Beach police are asking that women who had unprotected sex with a popular club promoter come forward; 22-year old Elidor Kersaint is HIV positive and knowingly spread the disease to his sex partners.
CBS4 reporter David Sutta reports that according to his MySpace page, Kersaint paints himself as a popular guy on the South Beach scene who works with some of the hottest clubs including Opium, Purvey, and Mansion.
But representatives from the Opium Group say Kersaint was not an employee, but he may have worked with any number of third party vendors they’ve contracted with in the past.
“I can unequivocally confirm that this individual is not an employee of the Opium Group,” said Opium Group representative Vanessa Menkes in a written statement to CBS4.
Sutta reports also on Kersaint’s MySpace page there are dozens of pictures of him posing with club going celebs, and countless pictures of him with half naked women.
But police say Kersaint had a dark secret.
“He carries a “pretty big stick” here in Miami Beach which is attractive for some people,” said Bobby Hernandez with the Miami Beach Police Department.
“Unfortunately he could have used that big stick, or attractiveness, to lure these women in to have sex with them and unbeknownst to them he has HIV.”
One woman told investigators she had sex with Kersaint on two occasions and he never told her he had HIV. Police fear there may be other women who had sex with Kersaint and are not aware that he was HIV positive. Miami Beach police are urging anyone who had a relationship with Kersaint to see a doctor and then contact police.
Kersaint, who has been locked up since last June, faces a minimum of five years in prison if convicted.

Re: Disturbing news:
I wonder how many of the women affected bothered to ask if he was HIV+?
At this point in time, I don't understand why anyone would have casual sex unprotected.

Thats what baffles my mind. HIV is totally preventable. We can get rid of this disease if people would just ACT RESPONSIBLY. But maybe I'm just a naive dreamer.
