How on earth do you tell someone you’ve got HIV?
Should we tell them? How are they going to react? What will they say? How do we know they won’t go round telling everyone? How will I feel if they react badly?
We know these feelings only too well.
You don’t have to tell anyone and you certainly don’t have to tell everyone. It’s entirely your decision. But when you’re first told you’ve got HIV, it’s probably a good idea to talk to someone. It’s a big burden to carry alone.
We’ve all had to go through this. The good news is that there’s plenty of support and advice available.
