What if you don't disclose..and you're partner doesn't either..and he's positive but not in treatment and has a different strain of the virus than you. I myself would always disclose...and play safe

It's a matter of conscience and or state law. Maybe not so much with grinder hookups, but how would you get around it if sex partner turners into permanent partner? How would you tell them after the fact about your status?

Even if it’s not a requirement by your state, you really should. I think its your own morality that’ll help others see and hear you. honesty is a sexy trait!

I live in Canada and it is a legal requirement.

Depends on your state law. My state says I’m not required. But it’s posted on all the social sites I’m on.
