At the time, we weren’t officially together, but we spent a lot of time acting like a couple. Now it’s months later and I’m just now finding out about all of this. Would I be TA to confront her about this even though over 5 months have passed? Do I even have the right to be angry rn?
Not entirely true. If you knowingly have an std and don’t disclose it, and don’t take the proper safety measures to prevent giving it to someone, it’s possible you can be convicted on assault charges (as in it has happened), even if the other person didn’t actually get it. Also lying about consent altering information is grounds for assault charges. Civil liability is when it’s difficult to prove when the other person didn’t get infected
I agreed with that part yes. And again liability is for civil suits, criminal law is a bit different. So correct it’s [currently] not criminal if they also didn’t know [in any jurisdiction I’m aware of]. I am curious if there’s been any cases arguing a sexually active person has the legal obligation to test themselves before engaging with a new partner (and is thus liable for risk of transmission even when they don’t know)
