21. No Angel: When is spreading infectious diseases a crime?
Popstar Nadja Benaissa was convicted of recklessly transmitting HIV. She was blackmailed and attacked by the press. Did she deserve the hatred she received?
On this episode of Bad People, presenters Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss whether knowingly spreading an infectious disease should be criminalised and what that means for COVID-19 rule breakers.
Is consenting to getting HIV legally possible? What are the ethical problems raised by putting someone with HIV or AIDS in prison? And why are we obsessed with hunting down ‘patient 0’? Find out how all of these questions and more, apply to our psychology and behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This episode includes citations from The Guardian Interview with Nadja Benaissa, ‘I knew I was HIV positive’.
Warning: This episode contains strong language and references to HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, and drugs and addiction.
