I used this forum when I was first diagnosed with hep B.I would like to say thank you for the support and information it has provided.
I have now "cleared" my infection even though it never goes away... more like in remission.
I got my infection from an ex partner (sexual transmission). After contracting it from him he refused to get tested and treated me extremely badly when I was diagnosed. He made me feel like I should be grateful that he was sticking by me. Often shouting me down when I asked questions and suggesting that I could of infact ruined his life etc. Basically gaslighting me and denying me the chance of knowing what is going on with my body and why before I really knew anything about this infection. he even faked documents to make it look like he never had it.
I have just found out you can sue someone for giving an infection to you and I am not sure how I feel about it.
I was wondering if anyone has sued someone for giving them an infection?
I guess I am conflicted with the fact of punishing someone for having a disease just because he was a shit person. Perhaps he didn't know he had it before giving it to me?
Having this illness I understand how complex it is but it also took a toll on my life. Mentally, finacially etc and someone else did that to me with no support. Infact they added to the stress and confusion.
I know this is somewhat personal but would be interested to know others thoughts and if they have been through the court process and how stressful that was.
