Former Wales captain Gareth Thomas has agreed to pay ex-partner Ian Baum £75,000 plus legal costs after he was accused of 'deceptively' transmitting HIV to him.
It was first reported in August 2022 that Thomas was being sued by Baum, who asserted that he 'failed to take reasonable care' and inform him of his HIV diagnosis before allegedly transmitting the virus to him. Baum alleged he found 'GSK1' medication—which is used for treating HIV—in Thomas' possession before he then tested positive himself.
"On Googling the GSK1 pill, the claimant discovered that the defendant was taking antiviral HIV medication," High Court documents previously reportedly said.
