When I worked I told nobody about being HIV positive. It's none of their business

I’m with Sharon not that I’m ashamed but it’s no one’s business unless I’m sleeping with them

As long as I can come to work on time, do my job and go home at the end of my shift, why do I have the need to tell anyone of being positive.

I wrote it on the form when I was hired. I never verbalize it. Sadly, the hiring manager filed it and I don't think ANYONE ever looked at it. I only mentioned it because it was physical job where I could get scrapped up by boxes and shelving.
I never told anyone and most likely never will unless they ask directly and even then, I'll word smash them as I've worked it records departments for attorneys.
As for telling friends... ALWAYS be specific that they are not to tell anyone. You just want that person to know in case of emergency. THEN you can slap them with a HIPPA threat.
Mean people suck. Especially the ignorant ones.
Sorry that happened to you.

True. I only told my good friend when I first found out. Didn't realize she'd tell everyone else! I was scared no one would want to be around me anymore once they found out. But that wasn't the case, no one reacted badly at all actually. We are a close team at work. But it's funny, when something like this happens, you realize that most people are so consumed by what's going on in their own lives that they don't have time to be concerned with what is happening in yours. And in this case, that's a good thing. I'm not ashamed anymore though, I probably wouldn't have chosen to come right out and tell everyone at work, but it happened and it is what it is, and honestly being positive is just part of who I am now. If people can't accept me because I have a virus, I don't need them in my life anyway.
