Stop Her From Infecting
My Fiancee of 3.4 years felt the need to move home to Michigan instead of staying with me in Texas as we had agreed. I have reason to believe she is seeing other people. Would it be slander, defamation or any other legal infraction if I were to tell her friends and family that she has infected me with Herpes Simplex Virus II? She was diagnosed in Feb 94 and didn't tell me until I had an outbreak in Jun 97. She has stated that she has been with at least 16 men since she was diagnosed claiming denial as her defense. I am not doing this out of anger or spite. I am only doing this to protect others that she may come in contact with. I have proof in the form of photos of one of her breakouts and I have an old empty bottle of her Acyclovir medication that is used to treat Herpes. Or, would it be better for me to come forward to her friends and family and let them know that I have HSV II and let them figure it out for themselves as to where I got it? One additional question, can she be held liable for not letting her partners know she is a carrier of the virus? Thank you for your time in this matter.
