Who do I tell? ·

If you are considering discussing your partner’s HIV status with anyone, ideally you should talk to them first to check that they are okay about it.

Once you have told someone about your partner’s HIV status, you can’t take it back and there is no way to control what that person will do with the information or how they will react to the news.

You may find the person you tell does not react as you would have hoped, therefore you and/or your partner need to be sure you/they are able to deal with the reaction you/they receive. Take time to consider who you and your partner want to tell and always make sure your partner is happy for you to do this.

Think about how you would feel if the roles were reversed or, if you are HIV positive, how you reacted when you first found out your status. Everybody is different and you have to go at a pace that suits your partner – don’t try to force him into doing something he doesn’t feel ready for, even if you think it would help.

  3. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on this topic. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him. So I should thank you for the free lunch I got.

  5. I would suggest talking to your close family and friends about this. They will know you better than anyone else and so can offer tailor made advise to suit you. If this is not possible then try to talk to a confidential counselor or help lins

  6. I was just researching for this information to get a while. Approximately two hrs of online lookuping, luckily I received it in your website. I do not understand why Bing don’t indicate this type of resourceful internet sites in the first web page. Normally the leading websites are craps. Possibly it is time to alter to another research engine.
