    Legal Rights When You Contract an STD

    Contracting a sexually transmitted disease can be life altering. People can contract them from an infected partner without knowing. In this case, you are entitled to compensation if you contract an STD, and a person fails to inform you of their carrier status. Seeking out an informed personal injury attorney can inform you on how to receive justice.

    Your Rights

    It’s illegal if someone is carrying an STD and does not tell you before engaging in intercourse. In this case, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Herpes Simplex Virus 2 are the two diseases that are litigated in court. Because of their life-long impact on the victim, they can seek compensation for, medical bills and fees, lost wages, distress, and pain and suffering.

    Neither HIV nor HSV2 can be cured. These diseases will remain with the victim for life. HIV can deteriorate the immune system and develop into AIDS. Herpes involves the development of genital warts. Contracting either disease can cause damage to someone’s reputation due to stigma and impact future relationships.
