HIV :: Sask nurses worried former CFL player with HIV was having unprotected sex

The former Saskatchewan Roughrider Trevis Smith is being tried in Regina provincial court on two counts of aggravated sexual assault for allegedly having unprotected sex with two different women without informing them he had HIV.

Trevis Smith is accused of having sex with two women ? one from British Columbia and the other from Regina ? without telling them he was infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Public health nurses were concerned that a former Canadian Football League linebacker Trevis Smith may have been having unprotected sex after he found out about his HIV infection, and they warned him several times that he needed to tell his partners about it.

From the witness stand on tuesday, three nurses testified about how Trevis Smith was informed he had the disease in November 2003 and also about the numerous interactions they had with the one-time Saskatchewan Roughrider in the year that followed.
