A 54-year-old self-styled healer has been sentenced by a Bern court to almost 13 years in jail for purposefully infecting 16 people with HIV using acupuncture needles.

Instead, he claims that this is part of a conspiracy against him and there are still many unanswered questions. The court is sure that the victims were infected deliberately by the same person that has left the victims with a condition they need to deal with throughout their lives.
The infections had occurred between the period 2001 and 2005. The man was running a music school and most of the infected people were his students at the school. He also practiced acupuncture and had many people seeking acupuncture remedies from him.
