Former Wales star Gareth Thomas is accused of failing to inform an ex-partner he had HIV before infecting him with the virus.
Ian Baum, who is suing Thomas, 48, in a civil case in the High Court for ‘assault, battery, infliction of intentional harm and negligence’. It's Baum's assertion that Thomas 'failed to take reasonable care' and inform him of his diagnosis before allegedly transmitting the virus to him. Baum's case is based on the balance of probabilities.
It's understood Thomas will 'vigorously defend' himself against the allegations, which allegedly took place while he and Baum, 59, were in an on-off relationship between 2013 and 2018. The plaintiff also said he has proof he tested HIV-negative two months after he and Thomas began seeing one another.
