Cumming, GA asked in Personal Injury, Civil Rights, Health Care Law and Sexual Harassment for Georgia

Q: I want to sue my ex-partner for giving me HSV std. Ex passed it to me and my 2-yr old son.

I have pictures of my son on his eye with the outbreak and I have proof of when I had my son we were clean (no std no infections nothing at all) jan/feb 2017. Started dating Ex partner may 2017. And starting haveing weird symptoms and went to get checked for a UTI infection and found out I had Hsv. I asked my ex partner if he had any stds and he denied all. Then when I told him I had it and had to have gotten it from him, he didn’t say anything at all. I found out he cheated on me with another woman for at least two months. My baby (2 years old now) had a bad outbreak around his eye and no one could figure out what it was. I did a little bit of research and think it’s hsv with alike pictures from internet this past week. I’ve asked his pediatrician to test for the std. I want to sue him for lying to me about haveing an std and knowingly transmitted it to notnonly me but my baby!!!!!!! Please help. This caused me to be on medication for anxiety and depression.
