Man told by mistake he had AIDS
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A jury awarded nearly $1.4 million to a man who was incorrectly told by a clinic that he was infected with the AIDS virus.
Northcutt sued the department for negligence and emotional distress, saying he became depressed and hopeless. He said he twice tried to commit suicide and drank to excess.
During the four-year period that Northcutt thought he had the AIDS virus, he had unprotected sex. He tested positive for HIV two months after discovering the clinic's error.
Sucks to be that guy..
