So I (F, 23) have an ethics question of sorts. I’ve been seeing two poly people (I would say I’m poly myself) along with other more casual partners. One (M, 38) the other (F, 25). Lets call him Chris and her Maia.
I’ve been seeing Maia for about a month and a half now and Chris for almost a month. Maia has GHSV-1 but manages it with everyday anti-viral medication, she let me know (before we had sex) while there’s always a slight slight chance she could asytompatically be shedding she has never given a partner of hers HSV-1 and that it’s essentially impossible for her to transmit due to the fact she takes the meds everyday/ hasn’t experienced a breakout in a minute. Her and I also practice safe sex.
Chris has a primary partner (he is married), he has recently on the lookout for another romantic partner and sees me as a prospect. Is Maia’s status something I need to share with him (and other casual partners as well)? This is something I’ve wondered about, especially because she takes the daily anti viral meds (I don’t feel at high risk, I’m very educated on the topic and do not feel like it puts other partners at risk). I’ve as of yet chosen to not share this information as they are not sleeping together, she has assured me she will not transmit and also I’d like to keep her medical history private. If I have cause to worry that I could have it (lets say she gets a breakout the day after we hookup) I will of course let him know, I also again get full panel testing and if anything were to change with my health status then I’d immediately inform him.
Is that an okay way to proceed?
