I don't know who that so called 'expert' is, but her answer is incorrect. You can sue someone for knowingly giving you herpes. It is a serious, incurable disease. They will not go to prison, as they could for knowingly infecting a partner with HIV for example, but you are entitled to a monetary reward. Know your rights and act to stop these people.

I have been seperated from my husband for a year. I thought we were going to work things out and I started sleeping with him again. He was seeing a girl which he said to me many times they were just friends. Turns out she has herpes and he never told me. She was also aware that he was still married and slept with him anyway. Can I sue both of them?

I know that there will be alot proving to do, past records and treatments showing and or admitting to knowing prior that one knew.  I went thru this for two long years of he said,she said, but come to find out the accusor was the one who gave it to me.  All in it for the money  ( sad!! isn't it.)

One thing that wasn't looked at is he may have cheated on her and he had his primary outbreak but anyways, with a girl seeing he has cold sores then why is she still having sex with him.  If she knows what it is and still has unprotected sex it is on her.  You also have to know that depending on what you did with him depends on what kind of herpes you have just meaining if he went down then you would have herpes simplex type 1 in genital region or type 1 cold sores if you kiss.  If he has cold sores it doesn't mean he has type 2.

Last year in Texas alone, at least a dozen multi-million dollar lawsuits related to Genital Herpes were settled.  However, in each of these cases, the victims had to substantiate sexual abstinence since the infection, and further to swear an oath against future sexual intimacy. There are even suits involving animals. Since you definitely have herpes in your genitals and will have it the rest of your life for ever and ever and will always be considered an unclean social outcast, you are entitled substantial monetary reward and even federal aid.

That's a question I asked myself and my attorney a couple years ago when a girl I was seeing briefly finally told me about her condition after the fact and ended up infecting me. The answer was that I did in fact have a negligence case against her, but since she was in college with no money it would not be financially feasible to pursue the lawsuit.

Needless to say I was pissed and having just taken a web development course in my final term before graduating from the University of Oregon I realized that I could deploy a tool capable of preventing others from ending up like me. The tool would use a simple database combined with some web forms to empower the public to harness the power of the internet to warn others about potential threats to their health. The result is the website STD Carrier Disease Control and Prevention Services home of the only online STD Carrier Registry compiled primarily from anonymous reports made by members of the public.

It got a lot of attention at first. Ending up on CNN just a couple weeks after launch and featured on multiple local news stations in the summer of last year. Unfortunately not much has happened with it since then and I have had to move on to other ventures, but the site remains there on a safe overseas server operating 24 hours a day for you to warn people about that guy who gave you Herpes.
