This is a story that I am surprised is not getting as much attention as it would usually get from media outlets. The media is usually all over stories that show people that are quickly rising to the top and or in the case, falling to the bottom. The New York Daily News reports that Roberto Alomar's girlfriend is suing him for 15 million dollars for insisting on having unprotected sex without informing her that he had full blown AIDS.
The description of the kind of health that Alomar is in is almost scary as it is portrayed in this article. The lawsuit that Alomar was first tested in 2006 when he was suffering from cough and chronic fatigue. It also said that he was foaming at the mouth and had his skin starting to turn purple. As anyone can see if the allegations are true we are not talking about HIV but instead, full blown AIDS symptoms.
This whole situation leads me to question why he would insist on having unprotected sex if he knew that he had the AIDS virus? I understand that sex can be more enjoyable without any kind of protection but what a slime ball to insist on having unprotected sex knowing that there is a high risk of passing a deadly virus along to your partner.
I understand where his ex is coming from in her attempt to sue him for the potential disease that he carelessly exposed her to but, is 15 million dollars a reasonable amount? In all of these cases that come up where there is potential risk being sued over I feel that the amounts can be quite extravagant. It is difficult to find a formula where a reasonable amount to sue over could be reached because there are so many different factors in every case.
