Disclosure

For many individuals living with HIV/AIDS, disclosure, that is, revealing that you are HIV positive, is a daily concern.

There are times when you should disclose your HIV status, but there are also occasions when you are not required to do so and when a request to do so may be an infringement of your rights.

We encourage you to explore various ethical questions surrounding disclosure issues.
