They begin treating for the cheating disease because it matches the symptoms better but they don't have confirmation of infidelity.

Addendum: She didnt agree to it, she was unable to respond.

The problem there is whether or not the doctors would be legally allowed to start treating them with an extremely risky treatment that has the potential to kill them if they got the symptoms wrong. While I'm not 100% sure of the legality, I'm tempted to say that without patient consent, power of attorney would come into play. Which means they'd have to ask the S/O or the patient's parents for consent.

A more interesting version of the question might be whether or not you as the S/O would give consent to allow them to be treated for the "cheating disease" or the other one, based on being advised by the doctors that the cheating disease is somewhat more likely, but not guaranteed.
