Gareth Thomas: Former Wales rugby star settles HIV case with ex - BBC
Jan 30, 2023 38 secs

Former Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas has settled a legal dispute with an ex-partner who accused him of "deceptively" transmitting HIV to him.

The former British and Irish Lion said he had settled the case for £75,000 plus costs, but it was not an admission of liability or guilt.

"On Googling the GSK1 pill, the claimant discovered that the defendant was taking antiviral HIV medication," the documents said.

Mr Baum then "immediately" made an appointment for a HIV test and the court papers stated that when he found out he was positive for the virus, he was left "devastated".

He ended his career with Welsh rugby league side Crusaders before retiring in 2011.

Two years earlier, he became the first openly gay professional rugby union player when he came out.
