Would u sue if your ex or bf gave you and STD/STI?

[Artemis04]

I thought the guy I was seeing was being monagamous with me but he was not. He was lying to me and was seeing me and his ex/baby mama at the same time. Well she told me he has HPV/cervical cancer/warts, which he gave her awhile back that I have now been exposed to. My mom and my best friend want me to sue him if I come back positive for it. All because he did not tell me he had it and knowing he did and put me at risk. Also, he stated to his ex that he did not care that he may have given it to me. I do not know if I have a legal leg to stand on to be able to sue him for giving me HPV if I come back positive. Personally I want his pen&^ to fall off and for him to rot in hell. But would you sue someone for giving u a STD or STI?

HPV is not as big an issue as is being made out in the media these days.  And I don't think anyone was insinuating you were sleeping around. Having unprotected sex just one time can give you an STD. Mami is correct, most women that have had more then one sexual partner have HPV.  Many don't even know, and may never find out.  I was never promiscuous either, and I have it.  It's more an annoyance then anything.  And not every type can lead to cervical cancer.  I don't think you would be able to sue.  We women have to take charge of and responsibilty for our own bodies and insist upon condoms for our own protection.  If a man refuses then in my mind he does not care about you (or his own health for that matter) and isn't worth your time.  I agree with the others, take this as a lesson and insist upon condoms every single time.  And I also recommend you educate yourself on HPV.  The only real change in your lifestyle now is that it is extremely important you have regular paps done, which we all should anyway.  And until you know for certain it is a committed relationship, use condoms.  Sadly, not everyone you will meet is completely honest, or may be a good person but not even know they have something.  Good luck to you.

You can't sue someone because you were stupid enough to have unprotected sex with them(sorry) If you have an STD it's YOUR fault for not protecting yourself in the first place.

And it doesn't even matter if he knew he had an STD and still gave it to you. it's still your fault for not protecting yourself. Yeah he'd be an a$$hole for not telling you about it, but you should always use protection with any new partner!!

Sorry I was rude but I hate when people talk about getting STDs there are easy and simple ways to avoid most of them!!

Liar or not you didn't know him that well and willingly slept with him unprotected.  I'm not trying to come down on you because I know you are going through a lot as is so even though he's a pig he's not solely responsible because you allowed him to sleep with you without using a condom.  His defense could be that he didn't know he had it.

Have you had the vaccine for cervical cancer BTW?

The post was meant to get your opinions on if you would sue if an ex gave you and std...syphillis, chlymidia, ect. I never said I was or was not going to sue him....I was considering it due to my best friend and my ex's baby mama mentioning it to me. They just thought he should pay for knowingly putting my life in danger as well as that of others. If I was going to sue him, it was not going to be about money it was going to be about the principle of not being a lying dirty dog.

Well she is scared of him and has filled charges against him and dropped him because he beat her up.
