Telling Medical Professionals?
I was diagnosed in Dec 2023. My infection disease dr is proving my meds and checking in regularly. I recently saw a new primary care Dr. I need to notify other medical professionals (dentist & GYNO) and I’m so nervous of being treated differently. I’ve seen my GYNO for 20 years, so feel I will disappoint her. How have medical professionals responded to you when notified?
I know what you mean Ann4. I was in my 40s, newly separated from my wife who was negative. 😵Unspoken questions filled my dr. room! Fugitaboutit!
Yes!
They will understand that's how I got dental health insurance for myself . Thru the Ryan white program
Not badly at all. It's all in your mind.
I Don’t Know If This Is A Dumb Question Or Not But, Should I Disclose My Status To My Eye Doctor?
How Is Anyone Dealing With This? I Was So Unhappy With My Marriage, Embarrassed And Ashamed Of The Abuse And Didn't Know How To Leave.
Does Stigma And Discrimination Still Happen In A Medical Setting?
