When to disclose
      03/24/09 05:57 PM

So, me and a friend are in somewhat of an argument. We are both HIV positive. I believe the right time to disclose is sooner rather than later, that is, if there is potential for romantic or sexual activity. What I mean is, if I have the faintest idea that I am interested in someone (whether to date or to have sex) then I feel like it is my obligation to tell them...so that they can make a choice. Also, if this new person is not going to be open to my status, then I would rather know this sooner rather than later...before feelings are hurt. I guess I am a bit scared of even considering dating someone who is negative, because of all the hassle and anxiety...but then again, you really can't help who it is that you are attracted to and/or fall for. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with the whole disclosing thing. What works? Is it possibly better to wait to disclose? Thanks in advance for your input!!
