She told me she had chlamydia and that she would tell her boyfriend when she was ready to. I told her I wouldnt say anything as long as she told him within a few days. She didnt tell him so I did. Was I in the wrong? She never denied having it, but her boyfriend who is now her ex is someone I have known for a lot longer than her and he says I did the right thing by telling him and she says I shouldnt have told.

they were having sex and she was cheating on him. I only told because they were broke up and he was trying to start dating a family member of mine that I didnt want to get it.

i didnt know that wanting my sister to avoid getting infected was a selfish reason, I thought it was called caring about her health however I could be wrong on that.

I think you did the right thing. Chlamydia can be very damaging if not caught early and treated. He needed to know to protect his health.
To Cosax- what if you were dating a girl and she had HIV and didn't tell you. Wouldn't you want someone who knew to tell you?

Certain STD's have to be reported to the local health department.She was wrong in not telling him.If I had a fiend and knew they had an STD,bet your bottom dollar I would tell them.It is their health that they are risking.Did he know,she was cheating on him?I feel sorry for whoever she has hooked up with.

Hello,
you hve your own selfish reasons for doing it, that dosen't make you a bad person. and it was good what you did whether for the right reasons or not.
He didn't deserve to be infected and you stopped that, but if you say they slept together, he might want to have him self checked out.
It was probably harder for her to tell, him.

It wasn't yours to tell. Yes, you knew, but it is her responsibility to tell him, not yours. You interfered in their intimate relationship. While he is thankful, you told some very personal information about her to someone she may or may not have really wanted to tell. OK, so she had an STD, but what if (and I can't tell by your question) they never made it to that point in the relationship? If he didn't know, it wouldn't make a difference because he wouldn't have been affected by it. How would you like someone telling some very personal, intimate information about you to someone you may not want to tell? You'd be pissed too.
