Personal trainer, 45, who is suing date for £130,000 after claiming she gave him a cold sore when they kissed is told to prove he didn't catch it off someone else Martin Ashley Conway, 45, claims he has been left 'traumatised' after catching the herpes simplex cold sore virus through kissing date Jovanna Lovelace, in her 30s, in London last year. Mr Conway claims his date - who like him was a member of social network Meetup.com - was 'negligent' in kissing him when she had an 'active cold sore' and owed him a duty of care to protect him from contracting a 'virus for life'. But he has been told by a judge at Central London County Court that he must prove at trial it was her that gave him the cold sores or end up with nothing. Meanwhile Ms Lovelace failed in a bid to get the 'salacious' case heard in private, with Judge David Saunders saying he 'refused to censor' reporting of the court battle.
