Whatto do if I had a sexual partner from 6 months ago accuse me of giving her a bacteria that gave her PID and led to a string of female reproductive problems?
I was tested 1 month before the encounter for STDs and all tests were negative. I had no partners inbetween the tests and the partner in question. She is threatening to sue me for medical costs even though my tests are all negative and there is no proof that I gave her this bacteria (which is unidentified and undiagnosed). I have zero problems and am totally clean, all partners I have been with since are also 100% ok adding to the fact that I am clean. Can she sue me with no proof and with it being obvious that I am innocent?

In order to establish any liability against you, it must first be proved that you are the responsible party. While this woman suffered damages, it is far from clear that you are at fault (either intentionally or negligently). Quite the contrary, based on the facts that you have presented, you seem to be innocent of her allegations. Accordingly, you appear to have no legal responsibility for her condition, either criminal or civil standpoint. However, to be sure of your rights/responsibilities, you should consult directly with an attorney in your area.
