What is the best way to tell someone you like that your hiv+ ?

I really like this guy who likes me, and I'm afraid if I tell him I'm positive, he may no longer like me.

'Disclosure' means telling someone that you are HIV+.

Who to tell about your HIV status and how to tell them can be a very complex and personal decision, and there is no one best way to tell someone, just as there is no sure way to gauge their reaction to your news.

Consider where you want the disclosure to take place. It could be at home, at a friend鈥檚 house, or in a healthcare setting so that support is readily available. The important thing is that you choose a place that is comfortable for you.

Consider when to tell -- Although there is generally no one right time, you should tell when you feel ready or when you are legally required to do so -- For example, if you are going to be involved in an activity where HIV could be transmitted.

Best wishes.

Just be straight forward, if he chooses not to like you then that is his prerogative. If you don't tell him and things go further, he could end up hating you!!! You can't control the reasons people like or dislike you. Good Luck!!!

He very well may not want to be with you anymore. That is a risk that you will have to take. If you are planning on being involved with this person sexually than you most definitely have to tell him. The best way to do it is just be honest. If he still wants to be with you than great, if not than you will have to accept that.

Just tell him that you really like him, but before you can go any further you have to tell him something. If nothing else, he should appreciate your honesty. He may not care, he may just want to be friends, he may not want to associate with you at all. But you have to let him decide.

Unfortunatly there is no way of knowing how they will react and truthfuly they may no longer like you, or may be scared off for awhile.
However it is best if you just be upfront about it, sit him down and let him know you really like him but there's something he should be aware of. There is a good chance he will freak out if he doesn't know other HIV+ people or doesn't know much about AIDs. Hopefully he will like you enough to be ok with it.

If your really worried about it you could try and find a movie about AIDs to watch together before approaching the topic, just try and pick something to educate him rather than freak him out.

If you are going to have sex then you have to tell him. It is his right to know. He may not like you if you tell him. I hope that doesn't happen because he should like you a whole lot more for telling the truth. Give him a chance to process the information. I think he will still like you. He sure won't like you if he finds out and you never did tell him.

There really isn't a way to tip toe around this matter. You just have to be straight forward and honest, but you really do need to tell him, that is a pretty serious matter and I would def want the facts if I was invovled with someone who was

Alot of the times u can hint around to a person(about anything that u might have mixed feels about) without just coming right out and saying it. You can bring up the subject of someone being poz just to see his views then youll know whether u should or shouldnt tell him.

Say it straight up.And good for you its people like you (who have aids) who tell the people they are gonna sleep with they have aids.I really respect that.Good luck.

Tell him you care for him, but also let him know that there is something about you he needs to know. If he likes you as well, it should not be a major problem to friendship
