Now that’s a righteous court award! Every evil person who passes a venereal disease to someone else should have to pay punitive damages. They are all guilty of “extreme negligence.”

She should get nothing but medical bills. She was engaged in risky behavior with someone she was not married to. Sex carries risks.
