Be Up In Front

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Vallejo, CA

Lately I've been telling people about my diagnosis. At this point of game, I really don't care if they don't like me or not. If you understand about this baggage I have and still want to hang out with me, then we cool. But if you're not then just go away and don't waste my time just like my ex-boyfriend.
Do you usually be up front with someone about your diagnosis?

We still live in a world of ignorance and none educated people that we have in our circle when it come to this topic. I still find it hard to tell certain people but i have gotten a lot better at it. I disclose my status when i feel comfortable enough to do so.

I'm rather confidential about it. Our privacy to our status is protected by United States Law. Having said that, I choose very carefully with whom I entrust with my Life information. My circle of trust and friends is very small. This has helped me greatly throughout the years and I have been positive with AIDS for 24 years now.. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🧡🌈💚💙😊.. in greater circles like POZ magazine interviews or covers.. I do share my journey with the intention of bringing awareness to the HIV and AIDS epidemic. but as far as strangers or people that are not within my circle on a daily basis , I do not share that information.

I myself don't tell everyone because everyone doesn't need to know my business. But if I do feel comfortable enough to share it with someone and they can't accept it, I'm moving on and not wasting my time.

I am upfront if it's someone that matters. I also am an advocate for HIV prevention and try to reduce miss information about HIV+ and trasmission by undetectable people
