Theatre blogger Philip Dehany was targeted by the former BBC presenter Alex Belfield.
Belfield has alreadyIf Mr Dehany is successful in his claim, and Belfield is ordered to pay back his legal fees, he has promised to donate them to HIV charity the Terrence Higgins Trust.
"Because I had previously supported the Terrence Higgins Trust by running a marathon for them, I knew that people would deduce that I was HIV positive from Belfield's comments," he said. "He was telling me that he was contacting police, he was telling me he was going to take legal action against me."He found his parents' telephone number, spoke to his mother on the phone, and threatened to broadcast the phone call online if Mr Dehany did not remove his article."When he was just attacking me I could kind of try to take it on the chin, but when he started to target my parents and was contacting them I just felt powerless.
