What's the difference between them ?

If I were newly diagnosed?..the ONLY PERSON..that u should tell would b your spouse or boyfriend..other than that..take my advice...I wish to God a thousand times I had never told anyone!...I would never today ..those I told n the first days....are no longer a part of my life..of course my friends at the time had HIV but all 12 are dead..so now n the last 20 years..nobody knows..not any coworkers....not even my best friend!..I was checking into donating my body to science and found out..they don't want HIV people and when I found that out I was actually talking to my best friend and I slipped and said I didn't qualify..she ask why not!..I quickly made up some Bullshit story and moved on!..u learn with time and experience that no one is really fine with it..people still freck out..and I understand because I also freck out when I hear of someone with it..and I have it!..thing is..u maybe think they are ok with it..but soon you will experience a weird vibe between u!..my advice will always b only tell who needs to b told and that's not everyone..don't expose yourself..it's just your own private business unless it's someone your actually are
intimate with or hoping to b!

The reason I answered #2 is that someone who is in the same situation that I am will better understand and relate to what I have to say. That is not saying that #1 could not be compassionate and understanding but they also don't know from personal experience.

If I was diagnosed today, my adult children and my siblings, then my grandchildren who are old enough to comprehend the discussion. Lay it all out to my immediate family.
These are the people most important in my life and need to know.

The question is, why are we trying to keep it a secret from those who we think can ruin our lives or make life harder for us? Of course, there are those who don't need to know unless you intend to literally impregnate them, and those who we work alongside that would change their attitude and demeanor towards you knowing you are with disease, a leper. Show some bravery, embrace your HIV, be proud that you have beaten it, proclaim victory over this plague, I am not ashamed to share my status and have gained respect in doing so. Keep your chin up and climb out from under the rock you decided to conceal yourself. Enter and live in the light. Screw everyone who judges you for having, living, and beating this shortcoming known as HIV.
Besides, you are a protected class of citizens in the US. Need I say more?
