Law question

BY law, do you HAVE to tell someone you have herpes 1 or 2? Or if you use a condom and dont tell them??

i think u have to tell them if u know u have it

using a condom does not guarantee it wont be passed on

The majority of the population have those 2 , most of them will never have any symptoms.
if everybody says that it will unnecessarily scare everybody.
but I think you are not obligated to say it

but even if you know and you dont tell, isnt it almost impossoble to know where you got it from ?

In reading up on it and Im seeing that in the state of ny and a few others, that ig you know that you have to tell them. but in a controversy, the herpes can stay i your system for a while and you wont even have symptoms. so in that case, you could of had another sex partner in that time frame of not knowing if you had it or not

herpes is for life

but if u know u have it i think that it would be better to notify partners as i know id be miffed if i found out someone gave me genital herpes and they never said anything

Let’s put this way , you can try very hard to avoid contracting herpes all you life ,but it’s very likely that you’ll get it anyway ,not matter how hard you try to avoid it.
And you’ll probably never have any symptoms.
Even if you get the symptoms ,after a 1 ,2 , 3 episodes they’ll disappear forever

um yeah you do actually because if you dont you can actually get in lots of trouble for ■■■■ like that ■■■■ like grow up and tell them
this stuff pisses me off so much it happened to my friend and it ruined her life for good

actually no herpes is for life
you cant just get ride of it.
and you have to tell the person if you have it because if you knew you had it and didnt say anything you can get into lots of trouble
so grow ip and tell them

i agree

Well, Thank you, it was just a question. Im not saying I have it but It was a question out of curiosity.

I didn’t think a condom would stop transmission of herpes. If you have herpes and you don’t tell you’re partner you’re a pretty despicable person.

@pattino, if you & your partner are monogamous and don’t have herpes to begin with you won’t get it.

it dosnt matter if i knew id i had it i would tell them its the decent thing to do

just a question

I think it depends on the state but the decent human thing to do would be to tell them

I think even if its legal then its immoral not to tell someone . I do believe knowingly giving someone an std is an assault of some sort yet it would be hard to prove. dont do it

i wouldnt do it. It was a question of curiosity. Because if that was the case , everyone can sue everyone that had came in contact with an std , hsv etc.
