Man Files $30 Million Negligence Lawsuit After Contracting HIV

[Roon]

34-year-old Percy Whiteman of Toronto is filing a $30 million lawsuit against his HIV-positive ex-wife, Thai-born Suwalee Iamkhong, along with the Canada Border Services Agency, Immigration Canada and the Zanzibar Tavern—where she worked as a stripper—for negligence, claiming that failure to test her when she arrived in Canada in 1995 led to his contracting the virus, Canoe.com reports. Iamkhong’s lawyers are fighting to have the lawsuit dismissed.

“The government failed to conduct an HIV test,” said Whiteman’s lawyer, Maurice Benzaquen. “Percy is suffering from this illness because the government failed to protect him.”

For some reason, I feel like I should warn you all that the link takes you to a website about aids.

1. Grow up Percy

2. It's CANADA's fault WHY again?

If he wanted her tested he should have asked her to do so. It's NOT Canada's fault..

:crazy:

5. Canada had my entire family screened for HIV

Its standard operating procedure now for all immigrants. Maybe he feels they didn't have adequate protection when she came in.

Not cut and dry

4. Oh fer chrissake. I guess you have no resonsibility to know about the sexual or medical history of

your STRIPPER WIFE. Sheesh

7. Get educated, Percy

There's a long period between the time someone is infected and that infection will show up on a test.

Besides, Percy, you knew she was a sex worker. Why not protect yourself with a condom until she'd been out of the business for a few months and passed a second test?

Dumb bastard didn't protect his own health. Canada is not his nanny.

8. What the hell does the tavern where she worked have to do with it?

This guy is nuts.

10. Next he'll be suing the church because he didn't know she wasn't a virgin

Makes just as much sense when you're marrying a stripper.
