More details to this question:
Apparently, I unknowingly passed on HSV-1 to my ex-boyfriend. I hadn't been tested because I hadn't had any concerns or had any past partners voice any concerns to me. He has two bumps on his lip that started two days before I got an infection on my lip. I have had it happen once before that I can remember, but attributed it to other skin issues I have. It also looked different from any other infection I've seen before, so I didn't feel I need to be tested. Even the photo he showed me of him looks very different from what I have going on. I got blood drawn today for STD testing, and he said that he was going to as well. I just want to know if there's anything I can or need to do.

This is not slander etc. It would be negligence or another tort.
There are a few things as I see it.
Confront him
Ignore him
Take proactive action and consult a lawyer
Unless you have significant assets, lawyers will not accept representation in yout case, because there is little chance of recovery on a judgment
