In a situation that underscores the complexities of trust and disclosure within intimate relationships, a partner has come forward with a personal account involving Duane Leavitt, a 48-year-old man from Springfield, Oregon. According to the partner’s narrative, there was a breach of trust when Mr. Leavitt allegedly failed to disclose his herpes status, despite being aware of the risks of transmission.
The partner, who had been in an exclusive relationship with Mr. Leavitt for several years, discovered they had contracted herpes. Upon confronting Mr. Leavitt, it was revealed that he had been aware of his condition. The partner alleges that Mr. Leavitt had another partner who was also infected with herpes and that he was cognizant of the possibility of spreading the virus.
Eventually, Mr. Leavitt admitted to having another partner and confirmed that she had herpes, which he had allegedly transmitted to his long-term partner. This admission came after the partner’s own diagnosis and subsequent discussion with Mr. Leavitt about the infection.
The gravity of such allegations lies in the potential health risks and emotional distress caused by non-disclosure of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is a reminder of the importance of open communication and honesty in relationships, particularly when it comes to health matters that can affect all parties involved.
Duane Leavitt is described as a white male, standing 6′ 4” tall, weighing 220 pounds, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He resides in Springfield, Oregon. It is important to note that the details provided are based on one partner’s account and have not been independently verified. This summary does not serve as an accusation but rather as a recounting of the partner’s experience as it was shared.
