Something to think about as it relates to consent. You start a new relationship and in good faith inform the other about your STD status. They understand and in good faith verbally agree, you consumate your relationship. Let's say the new relationship doesn't end up in a happy marriage, but ends (maybe unhappily) sometime in the future. Later, your past flame is diagnosed with HPV-16 oral cancer and they are convinced it was you that infected them. What was verbally agreed too at the beginning of the relationship may be way different than what is remembered after diagnosis is made, especially if they were the one who was unhappily ditched.

I say, you better get that consent in writing before consummation. How much of a cooling down effect is that going to have on consumating your new relationship?

If you have any financial assets you wish to protect from a civil suit you might need to involve a lawyer in drafting that agreement.

No, I'm not a lawyer, and can't give legal advice. But, it is something to think about. Crazier things have happened in our litigation prone society.

Edit: Sorry Paul, I didn't read your previous post closely enough. I suppose even with a written agreement, you can still end up in civil court. But a written agreement may help save you from criminial exposure.

Just thinking out loud here, now if the other person has as much to lose as you do, then maybe that levels the playing field somewhat. And when I say has as much to lose as you, I don't just mean financially. Ie if they also have maybe even a different STD, then they have a risk of infecting you.
