Some people find that being totally open about their status, (never mind sexuality or drug use!) gives them great strength and lifts the burden of secrecy. Other people tell no one but could be missing opportunities for support and care that disclosure might bring.
If you feel like talking to someone many people affected by HIV and AIDS are helped and supported by counseling sessions, AIDS organizations and telephone help lines. Who you tell and how you tell them will take a bit of thinking through.
Who needs to know?
Probably the first thing that someone you tell will think about is how you got infected. If they're kind enough not to actually ask, be careful that they aren't making assumptions about you. For example, a positive heterosexual man will automatically assumed by many to be gay.
Talk to people you can trust but try to make sure they will respect your need and right to confidentiality on this issue. Try to make sure whoever you discuss it with is sympathetic to your viewpoint and is someone who won't judge you on your lifestyle, sexuality or being HIV positive. This might be difficult and though you think you know who your friends are, telling others about this might either confirm or damage personal relationships.
If you are gay, telling others about your status is like "coming out" all over again. If you haven't come out as gay, the extra news of HIV might be too much for whoever you tell to cope with. Drug users might have similar problems admitting to both drug use and HIV infection. Are you prepared to deal with the concerns of people you tell; their panic, their tears on top of any problems you might be having with your status at the moment?
Partner:
Just as your HIV positive result was possibly a big event to happen in your life, if you're in a relationship the news will also have an impact on your partner. Consider the highly emotional aspects of revealing your status and, if possible, avoid the "heat of the moment" to reveal all. No two relationships are the same, so it's difficult to give advice in this situation.
