Interesting case out of Australia today. Man is sentenced to prison (suspended sentence) for lying about having herpes and passing it onto a sexual partner. One of the first sentences of its kind in Australia.

In Australia you don't legally have to disclose that you have herpes, but the fact that he was asked directly and denied having any STDs led to this sentence. It's very important to always disclose to your potential partners!
