In a lawsuit by a former spouse for negligent transmission of a sexually transmitted disease, the Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed dismissal of the former wife’s case against her former husband.
The former wife’s complaint claimed damages from her former husband based on his failure to warn, while married, that he had the human papilloma virus. She claimed “assault by way of the transmission of” HPV. Apparently, she first found out she had HPV when her routine pap smear revealed the disease.
