Accused NYC wife tests negative for herpes

NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Lawyers for a New York woman being sued by her estranged husband say it wasn't their client who gave the plaintiff his case of herpes.

Amy Tanne was sued this year for allegedly passing herpes on to her attorney husband, Frederick Tanne, but the New York Post said Tuesday that Mrs. T's camp fired back in court papers by saying she tested negative for the virus.

The document said Mrs. Tanne was tested in October and "presented as 'negative' for HSV-2, more commonly known as genital herpes, with which Mr. Tanne is allegedly infected."

The newspaper said Mr. Tanne, a senior partner in a Manhattan firm who had been married to his wife for 22 years, could not be reached for comment.
