OPINION OF THE COURT
Lester Sacks, J.
The plaintiff brings this action to recover for injuries suffered as a result of contracting genital herpes after a sexual relationship with the defendant. The relationship existed for several months before she became aware of the infection.
An examination before trial was held of the defendant at *766which he refused to answer any questions pertaining to his physical condition on the grounds of "privilege”. The plaintiff has now moved to strike the answer of the defendant for failure to comply with the orders for discovery issued by the court.
