I need to tell the OTHER Woman about a possable sexualy transmitted illness?
My x husband had an affair with this other woman and now I have discovered the existence of an std (He was my only partner). I need to tell her she may be at risk as I don't believe he will. thew problem is I only know her work address and am worried that if I go into her workplace with such information I will leave myself open to some type of legal issue as I am not sure I will be able to do this quietly in fact I have no desire to do this politely. I will not lie or exaggerate but I also will not hide the truth from anyone who is standing near by.
Thank you everyone although your answers are not as satisfying as I would like, they are probably far better advice than the corse of action I would have liked to take.
Yes of course I would like this woman to be embarrassed I have 3 young children and along with him she knew all along what she was doing.
My children now have a broken home and I have an STD.
For those of you who comment on my bitterness...although I will not let it consume my life - don't you think I have some right to it!
No, I am not telling her out of concern for her health (I’m not that thoughtful) but out of concern for the health of the next person she sleeps with (or his wife.) My x husband will not let her know, he will just run away from it all - so its up to me.

You do not NEED to do anything. Your motivation is not pure. You are trying to start some sh1t. Leave this alone. This woman will know if she has an STD. You do not NEED to tell her anything. Fix your STD problem and move on.
As an attorney, I would encourage and advise anyone who was approached the way you described in your post to sue. You really need to back down. Don't let your bitterness get you in a world of expensive trouble.

I think this is your ex-husband's responsibility. Have you told him what you've discovered? If not, then you need to do that first. Tell him that the other woman needs to know as well. She may very well be the one who had it first, but if not it's only right that she know. If you don't believe he will tell her and you are truly concerned, then write a note and leave it at her workplace. The note only needs to say "you need to contact so and so as he has a medical issue to discuss with you." Although you say you have no desire to this politely(because of what happened I'm assuming) underneath you know that if it were you then you would want to be told. Put your pain aside and be the bigger person. Take good care of yourself. May your next relationship be one of trust and love.

yes thats a delicate situation. And you don't want her more uncomfortable by making it known at work with the people she socializes with after all this is her work not her private home area. I know you said you didn't care who is standing near by. and your probably mad with her. rightly so. but i would be the better person here. show her you have class. she probably doesn't deserve it . but what done is done. I would perhaps ask to see her from the receptionist. have her come out and tell her you have something private to discuss with her its in regards to her health. where is a good place to talk. then the balls in her court if she says here is fine then you did your best she should pick up on the key word when you said its regarding your health if she doesn't care who heres it then tell her what you know. or you can give her a piece of paper with what you know on it. telling her she should get checked out for this std.
You did the right thing and walk away.

She could have you arrested if you confront her at work and yeah she may also sue you if she gets fired or in trouble. I don't think it's worth it.
Use 411 and try to get her home address and phone number or better yet, see if you can find her on Facebook and send her an email or message on there. Given the fact that you seem angry(and yes you have a right to be but still...) you should probably not confront her face to face anyway.

For some reason I highly doubt that your true reason here is to protect her from a disease. I believe that you are looking to exact some revenge here and at least embarrass her in her work place. If you feel morally compelled to do anything, write a letter, walk in to the place and hand it to anyone that can than transport it to your Mistress. Then walk away. She will get the message and she can do what she will with it and you won't be making a big scene. BTW - odds are good she gave it to him just as well as he could have given it to her. He's your ex. Move on and let him deal with his own problems. And trust me...he will have plenty.

That sucks. That whole situation sucks. I am really sorry.
Technically, it's HIS responsibility to tell her about the STD. Is this is first affair? He may have received this STD from her. He's your ex for apparently a good reason, and going to her place of work to confront her about an STD could very well cause trouble for you.
Leave it alone. You will look like the crazy ex-wife.
If you feel you must do this, I would suggest looking up the number by doing a reverse address lookup - it's very simple. Type in the address and you'll get the number. DO NOT go to her place of work!

as a physician, i would tell you that you need to back down. what might be intended as caring and being informative might take a very nasty turn, considering you ""have no desire to do this politely"". and you know her work address - you're becoming a stalker. you're really not doing anyone any favours here as your intent just looks laced with vengeance. do not write it to her or do anything. it could be used as evidence to incriminate you. just fight the damn urge to tell either of them stuff. AVOID complete contact.
less than a yr ago, i found out that someone i was in love with (and living with) was cheating on me with people on craigslist, in addition to the many regular partners he had, even some at work! they might have anything from anywhere and he never practiced safe sex. now this man was a physician like myself and i thought that he would be the safest person in the world to have sex with!!! and it would be so easy for me to report him to his higher-ups (albeit strictly confidentially) and he could lose his job. but i dont even care! i am safe and i'm out of it. he never knocked me up and im so glad i didnt marry him. i have my health, my life and my freedom from this moron. im not gonna take him down becoz i was so naive! nobody knows we were ever together and as a young, bright female physician, i have MUCH MUCH more to lose than this man ever will - so opening my mouth with an intention to take him down is just gonna backfire. a friend of mine got in touch with him to let him know that he put me through hell and it just backfired at me even though i didnt technically do anything!
by your emotion, im gathering that either this revelation is very new to you or you have something that will not be easily cured with an antibiotic. but im telling you - the best thing would be just look out for yourself. you might need to screen for viral counters every 5-6 months for the next 2 years, and even then there is no guarantee. and the next time you're with someone you DONT absolutely trust, tell them ""no glove, no love"".
Source(s): what im trying to say is, you cannot stop the volcano from erupting. the best thing you can do - is get out of the way!!!! and if you take nothing from this, remember the age old adage ""loose lips sink ships"". - Anonymous1 decade ago
If that is the way you feel, then I would stay away. If you tell her in earshot of others you are opening yourself up to a lawsuit. What you should do is go to her workplace with a letter in a sealed envelope with her name on it, and give it to the receptionist and tell her to give it to her.

A friend of mine had this problem and so she went to the local health department and told them the situation and so they contacted the other person very discreetly. It is all confidential. P.S. Sorry about your problem. That would suck really bad. I hope he is still your ex.
