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.
And if she was going to have a quickie hook-up with him until she found out he has herpes, maybe he could have sued her for discrimination.
After all, why should only certain guys get to enjoy sex with a stranger without a condom while the unfortunate who have some disease are not allowed that special feeling of condom-less sex? Now it's okay to treat people like lepers?
I think we need more tolerance and understanding in this society.
The court did find her 25% accountable for the situation. Had you read more, you'd have known this. The court also found the guy 75% accountable. Quite frankly, I'm surprised there aren't more lawsuits like this.
She was held accountable for 25% of what went down.

Exactly.
Condom or no condom, every time you have sex with someone, you accept the risk of pregnancy and stds.
The fact that there has been a settlement awarded is totally ridiculous.
You can get herpes with a condom on...this is a big DUH moment.
If material information is witheld from you, it changes your ability to come to a proper decision on the matter.
Imagine that I'm going to take you on a plane ride, you know that the plane could possibly crash. However, it's been having engine trouble and I'm not telling you because I want the $$$ from you.
I guess that's your fault and not mine because everyone knows a plane can crash....it's just in this case the odds were MUCH higher of a plane crash and that information was witheld from you.

Did she ask him?
I would ask you if the plane had been serviced, was safe, etc.
If you didn't tell me then...maybe we would have an issue.
My problem is people wanting to sue for every stupid decision they make.
You wouldn't date someone with cold sores? Wow. How would you know that they have herpes or cold sores if they didn't tell you? Most people don't have outbreaks very often, and some people carry the virus and don't have outbreaks at all.
This! Cold sore sufferers have Herpes! Type 1. If a cold sore suffer (of which there are millions) erm, 'goes down' on someone they can infect that person with a case of genital herpes. But usually don't. Cold sore suffers feel absolutely zero compunction to inform potential mates of their HSV (herpes simplex virus) status. Zero. Genital herpes is cold sores... lower down. I'd much rather have a cold sore where no one else can see it... An earlier poster said the dentist should do jail time. I agree. This is how we punish criminals. If he was a fast food worker he couldn't be found guilty in a 900K judgement. Fast food workers give women Type 1 (cold sore) and Type 2 (genital) herpes all the time. To little public fanfare. I was listening to OPB on this very subject. A case was mentioned in which a woman was made permanently incontinent due to a doctors negligence. Her award was $150K. Then the question was asked: which would you would rather be: incontinent or herpetic... ...
She was held accountable for 25% of what went down.
And? I guess you didn't hear about ?? Martinez who died during a kinky three-way sexcapade with a male friend and a woman (not his wife). His wife (widow) sued his doctor saying he should have done more to prevent her husbands death. The jury found Martinez 40% responsible for his own demise. Small comfort. The doctor is on the hook for 3 Million dollars! I'll bet the good doctor is barely comforted by the fact that the award could have been higher had Martinez been found only 25% negligent.
