AN explosive and unauthorised new book claims that Hillary Clinton once demanded her husband Bill Clinton be tested for HIV because “he favoured unprotected sex.”

Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince also claim in their book, Bill & Hillary: So This Is That Thing Called Love, that the Clintons were relieved that the results were negative.

Among other bizarre allegations in the exhaustive and highly unauthorised examination of the Clintons’ political lives, from their Arkansas days to today, is that Bill had the hots for former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The authors claim Bill “tried to seduce her” in her Fifth Avenue, New York City, apartment.

“We almost indulged in a wrestling match. It was most embarrassing,” they report Jackie told friend Katharine Graham, the former Washington Post publisher.

“I mean, I was flattered that I turned him on so much at my age, but Bill was just like Jack [Kennedy] in the sense that neither of them wanted to take ‘no’ for an answer. Ever since that day, I prefer not to be alone with Bill.”

The book claims that while Graham didn’t spill the beans, she once repeated the anecdote to Truman Capote over dinner, and he spread the story.

The book is due out on December 21.

A rep for the Clintons said: “[Is it] possible to quote me laughing at the sheer absurdity of this story?”
