Please remember that it is your RIGHT by law to confidetality...it is one thing telling a family member, it is way another for that information to get shared...be smart as to who and what you tell. Its your right of privacy.

There are so many places that do an HIV and STI complete education which is a great place to start then giving them advice on how a loving relationship makes sex special. I used to do that kind of complete education and it's good because all the questions get answered clinically, then the family gets to tell them their take on how sex should be handled.

I told my son early on in my diagnosis kinda felt like I had to because he couldn’t understand why I was breaking up with his dad in the middle of his illness. It didn’t make sense to him. Once I knew my status and was informed I sat down with him and told him what was happened and why I wasn’t being supportive of his father. I still feel I didn’t do this right but with my daughter I’m telling her as she begins to ask about reproductive health and as she is older. She’s only 9 now. My son was 16 when I told him

I talked with my nephew when he was in his teens. I then talked openly with his son, my great grand nephew, with my nephew and his wife's approval. Like I read here early how kids today know ay more and start way younger than we or even our kids did. I think an overview of all sexually transmitted diseases as well as safer sexpractices for all of them!! Not just disease but pregnancy precautions ~!!

Check with the parents first and get their ideas. You may not have to disclose your status. Just have the sex talk with them and educate them on HIV/AIDS. They may not want to know your status depending on how close you are to them. Tread lightly on that subject I made that mistake with my niece now she won't disquest HIV with me sometimes what kids dont know about us is best at a certain age
