Gareth Thomas: Former Wales rugby star settles HIV case with ex

Former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain Gareth Thomas has settled a legal dispute with a former partner.to ensure he did not pass it on.

Lawyers for Mr Baum, who had been suing the TV personality for £150,000, confirmed a settlement had been agreed. "On googling the GSK1 pill, the claimant discovered that the defendant was taking antiviral HIV medication," the documents said.

What is the logic behind paying somebody off if you genuinely believe you are not guilty? Same with Prince Andrew, How can you pay 12m to a woman you have supposedly never met or don't remember meeting?

And to think he was lauded by so many as being brave because he deceived others previously.

£75k for knowingly giving someone a life limiting virus. That's an insult.

No problem him coming out gay,no problem with him being HIV positive, big problem him not telling partners he is HIV when he knows what living with HIV is,why would you pass this on to someone you care for,he may thinks it's OK to pay someone off but lives have been ruined

Notice how quite a certain group is.....

He should arguably be in prison.

Shame on you Gareth to treat another persons life so cheaply 🤬

Is that not a private matter

If you have anundetectable viral load as people on HIV meds do, then you can’t transmit the virus. This is the WHO position.

Yuk

Why would you pay someone if you had no admission of liability or guilt as said in the article? VYou would crack on and prove your innocence wouldn't you with what this story has done to his reputation? Very strange that.

He should be in prison.

Vile man

What a role model
