Disclosure of HIV status without permission
      06/15/11 07:18 AM

I was diagnosed hiv+ on July 26, 2010. At that time I was very sick and could not lend my then wife support for my diagnosis. She was afraid she was positive too. Since we didn't have sex for 7 years before my diagnosis there was no chance she was positive. Two hiv tests three-four months apart both were negative....When I couldn't be there for her she turned to her family (Sisters and Mother) and told them I was positive. I understood she needed support but later came to resent the fact that this most personal health information was disclosed without my permission. Now her family feels that when others who knew I was sick ask how I am they believe that a simple "he's better" is lying and they have said they will be honest and tell them I was diagnosed hiv+. I feel this is not their right and I have told them they donot have my permission to tell ANYONE! Would like others opinions.
