The news broke yesterday that Robbie Alomar, former All-Star baseball player is being sued by an ex girlfriend for intentionally exposing her to HIV. According to reports, Alomar declined to get tested for HIV despite showing signs of HIV disease and urging by both his doctor and his ex. Presumably they had unprotected sex during this time.

I am a baseball fanatic. Robbie Alomar was a great player in his time- going to the All Star game 12 times during his 19 year career- but prior to yesterday most people remembered him for an incident when he spit in the face of an umpire during a game. One has to wonder whether these stories will merge at some point.

Alomar is denying the allegations, while claiming both that he is healthy and that his health is a private matter. If this case goes forward- and it very well may not- his health status is unlikely to remain private.

The story is too new and filled with holes for me to have an opinion- but I will be keeping an eye on it for sure.
