[Question #5025] Advice regarding disclosure
76 months ago
|
Hello Doctors,
I understand that my questions have come across as neurotic
in the past but I am only just recently beginning to be informed about STIs and
my history and the potential risks, etc.
I had my first cold sore about 6 years ago and never really
understood that it could be transmitted to someone’s genitals. They were always mild and my last one was over
two years ago.
Going forward now I will always disclose my oral HSV1
status.
However, I am curious as to the ethics about disclosing to
past partners, partners I had when I wasn’t informed of the risk of
transmission. How should I handle this?
Does my past non disclosure make me open to lawsuits? I am just really
confused.
Thank you so much for your unwavering patience and
invaluable information.
