Pittsburgh Steelers player Cam Thomas is being sued for allegedly giving his ex-girlfriend genital herpes.

The 27-year-old lineman has also been accused of lying to the woman, saying the 'puss-filled bumps on his buttocks and inner thigh' were the result of sweat buildup and that the noticeable sores on his penis came from a zipper accident.

Thomas - who started 10 games for Pittsburgh last year - has vehemently denied the allegations through his legal team, who say the woman is after money.

The lawsuit was filed in San Diego under the name 'Adrienne' and was obtained by TMZ Sports.

Adrienne claims she dated Thomas in 2010 when he played for the San Diego Chargers and that the two would often have unprotected sex.

According to the lawsuit, she had a sexual health check up in December 2010 but the results were all clear.

Then in February 2012 she tested positive for genital herpes.

Attorneys for Thomas said the woman behind the lawsuit is angry, mean and vindictive, according to Guardian Liberty Voice.

One of his lawyers, Adam Kenner, said the allegations are a ploy for compensation.

Thomas and his current girlfriend have a child together, the lawyer said.

Thomas will be tested for herpes as part of the case.

He has not directly commented on the lawsuit.
