Before moving forward, we should know what are the venereal diseases? Venereal diseases also known as sexually transmitted diseases. A disease that is transmitted by sexual contact caused by the microorganisms present on the skin or transmitted through semen or vagina are known as venereal diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some examples of Venereal diseases are AIDS, Syphilis, Pubic Lice, Gonorrhea etc. These are very harmful & fatal if left untreated. In the Indian Judicial History, there have been such cases where a person suffering from any venereal disease, intentionally did not tell his\/her partner about it & continued to maintain sexual relations. As a result the other partner also got infected with the virus. After asking why, we got to know the various reasons about why he did that to his partner :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all the scenarios it was clear that he did it intentionally, to harm his partner which is not acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, if you have been infected by any venereal disease, you can file a civil lawsuit against the partner who sexually infected you. There are a number of theories which you can bring to the court while filing a lawsuit. Other than the above given reasons there are major theories of negligence <\/strong>& civil battery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a negligence claim, you have to prove that the infected person knew or must have known about the infection & because he failed to share such crucial information, he breached the trust & harmed my safety & health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a civil battery lawsuit, you are alleging that the person knowingly exposed you to STD via above mentioned reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a civil lawsuit for transmitting STDs, you can ask for monetary relief which will include the expense of your treatment required & also the emotional trauma that you have been through. But this lawsuit does not provide for criminal punishment for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNEGLIGENCE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
