A man who says he contracted herpes after his wife had an affair with her allegedly infected psychiatrist can bring a negligence action against the doctor, a New York judge has ruled. Carl Levine claimed that Dr. Robert Werboff had a duty to warn him he had herpes simplex before having unprotected sex with Levine's wife. Looking to "common concepts of morality, logic, and ... the social consequences of imposing the duty," the judge agreed that Werboff owed a reasonable duty of care to the husband.
