This is pretty basic legal stuff guys. Knowingly putting a partner at risk can not only generate civil liability but in the cases of HIV can lead to felony legal troubles. (and has)
However, most of the time the offender has insufficient assets to make ti worthwhile to sue them hence why this guy was sued, he has enough money to make it worth a lawyers while to take the case and also they must have had sufficient information proving he'd not been honest about his disease. Maybe he apologized to her via email etc. Otherwise he could claim he told her or other lies etc.

At what point does she become accountable.

a new frontier for the lawyers, eharmony. i met a total stranger and had sex with him 1st date. i read his profile on eharmony the company says we are a perfect match. .
now i have herpes, so where is my check.
That's nice. Move to Oregon and change the law. Also, feel free to pass some legislation that changes the long held establishment of negligence. It's odd that you're now voicing an opinion here given that these laws have been in place for 100's of years.
You have no idea what my opinion has been over the years. Your dismissive attitude is dismissed.

The article does not state this. It say that she was "overcame" before she could do anything about it.
All the more reason for this to be a criminal manner. Her lawyer states that this man is dangerous and I would agree. Again, a criminal matter.
If the guy has assets and admits to knowingly having herpes and knowingly passing it on to her by having unprotected sex then I have no gripe with this. Stupid is as stupid does...so they say.
If a prostitute contracted herpes from a client, what are the chance that the prostitute could sue and win a case against the client?
I guess it would depend on how much $$ the infected person has and what kind of lawyer they get.
