A 40-year-old HIV-positive man faced 14 new charges relating to infecting seven people with the HIV virus when he reappeared in Auckland District Court on Wednesday.

Glenn Richard Albert Mills now faces a total of 28 charges relating to 14 men and women, a number of whom have tested HIV positive.

The new counts concerned offending that was alleged to have occurred between April last year to May this year.

The offences were alleged to have happened in Auckland and Wellington and, in relation to one male complainant, on the "high seas".

The new charges arose after publicity about the case and the lifting last month of suppression of Mills' name and photo.

The charges include wounding or attempted wounding with reckless disregard, infecting with a disease and attempting to infect with a disease.

On the new charges Mills was remanded for a pre-trial committal on September 23.

He has already been remanded on the original charges for a four-day depositions on November 24.

Police have said Mills was diagnosed HIV-positive in May 2007 and had allegedly had an active sex life with men and women since.
