There is not clear directions for disclosing but protecting your assets to include yourself is always a good rule to follow. Reggie Dunbar II Founder-CEO POZ VETS USA INTL Atlanta GA
im sorry jerry, but disclosure is morally correct regardless. You cant say its someones mistake for having unprotected sex. If you know you are a risk to their health you should say so, and let the other person make an informed choice.
Leave it to "activism" to profit from, rather than fight, stigma. Not real sure how this is more useful than a screenshot or a quick recording. It does legitimize these awful laws, by failing to address the fact that we now routinely prosecute people when there was no risk of transmission, no reasonable expectation of disclosure and no presumption of innocence. Why stop here? Maybe we should all wear a bell. Better yet, a special patch.

Good idea, but isn't it sufficient to have the HIV negative person just write a note, signing and dating it, acknowledging he or she knows the other persons HIV status?
Why should someone have to disclose that. If everyone involved is practicing safe sex OR the kind of sex they have both agreed to why does there need to be any disclosure. No one should be able to jump up later and sue or accuse someone of infecting them. If YOU made the choice to practice unsafe sex then that's on YOU Don't try to blame someone else later for YOUR mistake. The laws NEED to be re written in those backwards 32 states !

This is dehumanizing to say the least. The only responsible ones why these laws still on the books are the same advocates for hiv. I volunteer in an hiv testing facility (my 2 cents to this) I tell everybody who wants to test the cruel truth of what would happen if their test comes back positive and the legal concecuences. Is it counter productive? Sure. I ask them to talk to their local legislators concerns. advocates are all about test test test but they deceive people into an incomplete truth
