This person would have to contact a lawyer to see if they have any case against thier partner.

Herpes is there for life after you contract it but it's not life threatening. I'm not a lawyer. I've seen that if it was some thing like HIV then they could have a case for assault, manslaughter depending on the state. But the person being sued can come back and sue them for slander.

It is not against the law, but it is indeed immoral. So have fun but warn your partner.

Added: While not criminally unlawful, it is conceivable that you MAY be exposing yourself to the possibility of a civil suit.

Can you get chlamydia if neither partner has had another partner?

It's possible to get chlamydia through genital-genital contact without intercourse. The problem with your question is the word "virgin." That word doesn't describe risk factors for STDs. That is, "virgin" doesn't say anything about whether you've exchanged potentially infectious fluids or had skin to skin contact with another person.It's possible to get STDs including chlamydia, HPV, HSV, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomonas by having genital-genital contact. Whatever your partners history, both partners should get tested prior to exchanging fluids.You can't get chlamydia if your partner and you were virgins.

As long as you don't transfer fluids from your finger to your eyes or genitals, you won't get chlamydia from fingering someone. However, you only need to abstain for seven days. For the sake of your health and that of your partner, find something else to do for this brief period of time.
