Can I Sue If I Got Herpes and I Passed It on To My Wife / Husband for a Failed Diagnosis?
Yes, you can sue if you got herpes and passed it on to a wife or husband for a failed diagnosis. In California, there is legislation that states that a person can face a misdemeanor criminal charge if knowing you had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or sexually transmitted disease (STD) and also knowingly passed it onto another person. In general there are over 30 viral, parasitic and bacterial pathogens that can be sexually transmittable to another person, and which will result in an STI. If you go to a doctor seeking a diagnosis for an STI and the disease is missed, then the doctor may be negligent to not have found the disease in the diagnosis. Some STIs are found performing tests, but may be asymptomatic on the individual who has the infection or disease.
