They should absolutely disclose. The differences in opinions regarding disclosure of HPV and HSV are disturbing. Go on Reddit and, if you have any moral understanding, prepare to be disturbed at people justifying no disclosure for HPV. You can’t find the same thing for HSV-1. And their justification for no disclosure is never sufficient. If you have knowledge of an active, potentially oncogenic virus and are withholding that knowledge from a sexual partner, you are depriving them of informed consent and putting them and any of their future partners at risk. I don’t know why this isn’t the common understanding.

Yes out of respect for the partner it should be addressed if the person knows they are a carrier.

The fact that men have it and can’t get tested for it and assume that they don’t have any, STDs is an argument to say then why should it even be discussed. Or think of it like this if you ask a man if he has any STDs? He will say no if he’s been tested for everything but he can’t even be tested for this!! so he cannot even answer this question
