Good morning and thank you for the question. First and foremost we must all recognize that our HIV condition is protected by law as far as it's confidentiality , having said that ,...when I was dating I would usually wait until after the first date to see if the person has any relevance as far as dating material. ...If not and no interaction has taken place, I do not reveal it. If there is a connection and we both agree to go forward then I will absolutely tell him.
I do not mention my condition until I have been on a few dates. I always disclose when there is the possibility of sex. Now, in Florida, we are not protected.
"Florida criminalizes people living with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the contexts of sex work, nonconsensual sex offenses, donation of blood and other bodily products, and consensual sex without disclosure."
very good, and I would like to give you my opinion, in general, if on the first date I have with that person the connection flows and you think it could be something else, I say that you tell him from the first moment to see how he reacts, and if it's worth it, if you're not sure...wait a certain time, not so long either because he may think you lied to him and take it badly. but in general, tell it as soon as possible...but not to any person unless you feel confident.
Where do you find people like us
To avoid the letdown or no call back I just go for someone in the same situation as me that way we both know what we dealing with.
