STD infection

[dimwithwit]

Can you sue a person who has given you an STD? If so how long after they have given it to you have you got before you cant Sue anymore?

I think there has been a case in the US of a man giving a woman the HIV virus "intentionally"...He knew he had it, yet had sex without protection. But then it's the US....

I think if you unfortunately become infected with an STD, you are responsible as much as your partner is. After all, it is your choice not to use adequate protection, isn't it? Unless we're talking about rape, obviously.
Hopefully your question doesn't involve a life-threatening disease.

Sorry, no legal advice....

You would be better off buying some Condoms rather than trying to sue people.

Unprotected sex can lead to far worse things than STD's, Thank god you didn't catch AID's.

Let this be a message to all of those out there having un-protected sex.

ALWAYS USE A CONDOM

I think you'd have a hard time proving who gave it to you! even if there were test to be had to prove it, I doubt you can inforce the person to do it!

You would also have to prove that they knew they had it.

When you have unprotected sex you are volunteering to gamble with your life.

Unless you were raped, you are equally responsible.

Take charge of yourself and look after your health.

I don't know which STD you are referring to, but in response to some other posters, the only way to prevent passing on an STD is through abstinence. Condoms are not 100% effective as you can transmit an infection through sores or cuts on areas not protected by the condom, in rare cases even through lice/scabies .

I assume you would have to prove that your partner knew they were infected. And also prove that they did not inform you they were infected (nigh on impossible, they could claim you consented and once infected, denied all knowledge). And it would also depend on the gravity of the situation, i.e. which type of STD it was - i.e. a curable bacterial one, or an incurable viral type.

Whatever you decide, take it as a lesson learned and next time choose your partner more wisely and get to know them well before sleeping with them.
