Dolphins Cornerback Xavien Howard Sued By Woman Who Claims He Gave Her Herpes

According to the Miami Herald, Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard is facing a huge lawsuit after a woman came forward alleging he gave her an incurable sexually transmitted disease, genital herpes.

The woman filed the lawsuit as Jane Doe on Thursday in Broward County Circuit Court, and she is seeking damages in excess of $30,000. She’s also demanding the suit be heard in front of a jury, according to court documents.

According to the lawsuit, she met Howard in early 2018 at a Quest Diagnostics laboratory where she worked. It is a center for testing. Howard asked her on a date. At the beginning of their relationship, he told her that he had no STDs, even showing his negative test results.

She alleges in 2019 Howard learned he had contracted genital herpes but did not inform her. Instead, he proceeded to stand by his assertion that he had been tested multiple times, without contracting any STDs.

“With knowledge of his incurable sexually transmitted disease, and without disclosure, Defendant Howard continued to engage in unprotected sex with Plaintiff without informing her of the same,” the lawsuit read.

When she got tested in 2021, she found she had tested positive for the life-long disease and knew Howard was the only person who “could have transmitted genital herpes” to her, the lawsuit alleges.

“Maaaaan I been told you I was sorry for giving it to you,” he told her, according to the lawsuit. “But what can I do now? The damage is done. You keep bringing it up as if it gon change sumthin. Like yo a** can’t move on.” Howard said, according to the woman.
