HIV-related cases of uninformed sexual contact causing infection are going to open the door to possible legal action in ANY transmission of a non-curable sexual disease.
Why not just have fedgov pass a law about sex, standardize forms to be signed by both parties with disease history, provide a special court and remedies for omissions, etc.
I find the idea of suing someone for giving you HSV-2 simply absurd. Why not sue for not being given an orgasm as well?
And also, what about suing someone for giving you the flu?

To quote another FReeper: hyperbole is not your friend.
Nobody would ever be able to sue me.
Actually have them sign before they hit the sack. Once they hit the sack with no disclosure signed, there is no court case. (Unless provable rape).
Well, I've been slapped for that....it's a start.
