A friend of mine was given HSV2 from a now ex bf without being prior warned about the std. Evidently she is not the only girl he has done it too. Isnt there some sort of legal action that can be taken for pretty much ruining her sexual life for the rest of her life?

perhaps she should consult a lawyer.

Crazy. This exact story happened to a good friend of mine. Well actually a few people I know have hsv2. but my friend wasn’t promiscuous never slept around with a bunch of different people like some of these people are so blind to think. for the record she went to planned parent hood and her and her bf got tested before they had unprotected sex. They said everything was clean. Well turns out you have to specifically ask to be tested for hsv2. its an 40 dollar charge extra and you have to have a break out inorder to do a culture. He was aware of the std the whole time. he admitted to it after she contracted it. but he doesn’t have it on record so her shrink says she can still sue him so that he will be tagged legally an hsv person. That way if he is irresponsible in the future he will really get in trouble. Fighting wont do ****. its not the end of the world. Really there is medicine now that prevents you from breakouts and if your friends a good person not every guy is going to dis her because of some dumb little thing like hsv. It has not affect on your health. She is lucky that she didn’t get something worse.

If he was diagnosed then you can take action. If he was never diagnosed it is inpossible to prove he knew he had it.
-The Supreme Court ruled in Frazier V. Motson that unless there is absolute indisputable evidence that one person transferred a disease with full knowledge; then no legal standing shall exist for punishment or payment of any kind.
-What that means is your friend is screwed. Unless she has him on tape or he was diagnosed she has no case.
-Even if she sues......he could just say he told her. Making it her word against his.
-In the future your friend needs to think before she f**ks.

The burden of proof would be on her to provide evidence that he knew that he (1) had the condition, (2) but engaged in sexual activity without forewarning his partner.
If she can do this, then yes...she would have a civil action.

If he knew he had it, she can try to get the police involved and have him picked up for assault.

it would be much more satisfying to have someone beat the crap out of him.
