Woman claims star NFL quarterback passed along herpes.



Claiming that Michael Vick gave her herpes, a Georgia woman is suing the star NFL quarterback for negligence and battery. According to the below lawsuit, Sonya Elliot, a 26-year-old health care worker, was infected with the sexually transmitted disease in April 2003 after an unprotected encounter with Vick at the athlete's Duluth, Georgia home. Elliott alleges that after testing positive for Herpes Simplex 2, she confronted the Atlanta Falcons star, 24, about her condition. "I've got something to tell you. I've got it," Vick admitted to her, according to Elliott's State Court complaint, which alleges that Vick then told her that "he had not known how to tell her about his condition, and that it was not something that he liked to talk about." Elliott's complaint also contends that Vick "apologized profusely" for not telling her he was infected with the STD. Elliot's lawsuit alleges that Vick has used the name "Ron Mexico" and, in a related court filing, her lawyers are seeking Vick's admission that he used the "Mexico" alias--and perhaps other fake names--"for the purpose of herpes testing and/or treatment." In her lawsuit, which does not specify monetary damages, Elliott states that she met Vick at a Virginia Beach nightclub in May 2001 and, shortly thereafter, began a close personal relationship with the football star (though the couple did not have sex until late-2002). Last December, Vick, the top overall pick in the 2001 National Football League draft, signed a ten-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons, the richest deal in league history.

People Please Protect Yourselves!!!!

yeah, it's not ideal when you get STDs from someone else.

My sex suit is in the wash.

Can somebody save me the trouble by giving me their impression of how I would feel after having read this article?


Thanks.

Maybe if Mike Vick had worn a sex suit they wouldnt be in this mess.

Thanx 4 making that point. That baffles me. How can someone who should know about stds put themselves at risk?

Because people - even those who know the risks - sometimes make bad choices. It doesn't mean it's worthy of a lawsuit, but both parties have responsibility here. It is her job to protect herself, and it's his to disclose his status before they have sex.
