Famous horror writer Clive Barker is accused of infecting his lover with HIV and kicking him out of their house.
Legendary horror maven Clive Barker -- who's responsible for the "Candyman" and "Hellraiser" franchises -- gave his ex-boyfriend HIV ... and then kicked him out on the street ... this according to claims in a new lawsuit.
Emilian David Armstrong says in the suit ... he met Barker in early 1996, and they quickly moved in together. Armstrong had a daughter from a previous heterosexual relationship. She also moved in.
Armstrong says in November, 1996, he was diagnosed with HIV. The suit claims Barker had tested positive and had urged Armstrong to get tested. Armstrong is convinced -- Barker gave him HIV.
Armstrong says Barker confessed he had previously engaged in a sexual relationship with his own cousin, who had AIDS -- and also engaged in sadomasochism in prior relationships that involved syringes.
As for why Armstrong waited 16 years to file a lawsuit -- Armstrong says he and Barker tried to work out their relationship and battle the virus together ... but things started to go south in 2003.
According to the lawsuit, that's when Barker became addicted to prescription painkillers such as Vicodin, Percocet, Demerol, and Oxycodone. Armstrong claims Barker would mix these drugs with alcohol, cocaine, and/or crystal meth and use them for recreation.
But Armstrong says he still didn't give up on the relationship -- and tried to help Barker through his drug problems ... but they only got worse. Armstrong says Barker started throwing drug-fueled parties with young men ranging in age from 19 to early 20's.
The suit claims in 2009, Barker kicked Armstrong out of his house -- along with Armstrong's daughter -- and left them destitute.
Armstrong claims he was a partner in Barker's business ventures and is entitled to a cut of the profits. He also says he was promised support for life.

HIV sucks
You should have stack up your chips. Your a grown ass man. So you need someone to tell you to save your money for a rainy day and you have a teenage daughter--- just plain DUMB. When you found out he gave you HIV you should have a drawn up a contract that he would pay for all medical, funeral cost. Love don't pay the bills.
Clive Barker really is as demented as his movies.

This disease is no joke.. we have to protect ourselves..Love will kill us so we have to be extra careful..never knew clive was gay.. actually never knew too much about him.. this is a sad story..
His cheeks are a sign that he has HIV or AIDS. It's possible to get that flattened cheek look from other ailments but it's a documented effect in many with HIV/AIDS. It's called lipodystrophy. Some plastic surgeons are starting to offer the same face fillers they give people for crows feet and face wrinkles to fill in the sunken cheeks caused by the disease.
Oh em gee...WTH is this world coming to...
