Man With HIV Kept Sex Partner List, Officials Say

A man accused of infecting at least nine young women with the AIDS virus kept lists of the names of dozens of females he had sex with, authorities said.

Authorities believe Nushawn Williams lurked near parks and schools in western New York state and talked young women into having sex with him, after he had been counseled about his HIV-positive status.

Williams has given New York City officials a list of 50 to 75 names of women with whom, he said, he has had sexual contact, health officials said. It was not known where those people lived or whether they include his 28 known sex partners from western New York.

The nine cases of infection in rural Chautauqua County include a girl who was 13 years old at the time. At least one man was infected with HIV through sex with one of Williams’ 28 known sex partners, officials said.

Health officials have said Williams frequently traveled between New York City and western New York, and may have a large number of sexual contacts in other counties.
