Non maleficence is one of the ethical principles in bioethics that is somewhat similar to the principle of beneficence. While beneficence advocates actions of goodness towards others, "doing good", Non maleficence is stated in the negative form "to do no harm". In health care, every individual is entitled to a just and fair treatment. It is for this reason why such personal injury issues are very important.
These principles not only involve themselves in cases limited to personal injuries such as negligence, malpractice, and the like but also extend to issues regarding rights to maintaining one's sexual health. Sexual health pertains to the wellness of an individual with regards to his state, interest, and involvement in any sexual activity. In addition, sexual health necessitates sexual relationships that are void of force or threat, as well as the promotion of safe sex.
In a personal injury case relating to sexually transmitted infections or venereal diseases such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Human Papilloma Virus, Hepatitis B, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus that are contracted through different forms of sex such as oral, anal, and vaginal, an individual who may be aware or unaware of having such disease is held liable for infecting a sexual partner. The number of sexually transmitted infections has undoubtedly risen. In effect, a number of laws have been designed with regards to personal rights in sex such as informing sexual partners of present sexual health condition prior to sexual intercourse.
There exist cases of sexually transmitted infections that are intentional or deliberate. In this state of affair, a plaintiff is compelled to demonstrate competence in establishing truth by means of providing evidence that the defendant has been aware and certain of having an infection yet has failed to disclose this pertinent information to the plaintiff prior to the sexual act. Diagnostic exams that reveal positive results for the existence of such infection serve as formal pieces of records that definitely provide support to the case. On the other hand, cases involving negligence are as well actual and current. The plaintiff's action also implicates proving the current disease and the involvement with activities or sexual practices that increase the risk of transmission.
Personal injury issues and legal matters that involve dispute between parties because of infections with sexually transmitted diseases pose a challenge and demand a considerable amount of physical and psychological attempt as both parties involved be certain about information such as who was infected by the STD, who transmitted it and when was the sexual act done. Inquiries like these definitely arise along the process that may pose doubts, taking into consideration knowledge involving a sexually transmitted disease's period of communicability, the incubation period, and time of the presentation of corresponding signs and symptoms.
