Yes, it is morally wrong to intentionally withhold information about having herpes from sexual partners, regardless of legal requirements. While it may not be a criminal offense in Canada, there is an ethical obligation to inform potential partners about STD status before intimate contact. This allows partners to make informed decisions about their health and safety.

Disclosing an STD status can be challenging and emotionally difficult, but being honest helps:
- Build trust in relationships
- Prevent spread of infections
- Show respect for partners' right to make informed choices
- Reduce stigma through open communication

If someone is struggling with disclosure, they can:
- Seek counseling for support
- Join support groups
- Practice disclosure conversations
- Learn about transmission prevention

Remember, everyone deserves to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Withholding this information removes that choice from partners and can damage trust and relationships.
