Disclosure Is Good But You Have To Do It Wisely. I Think At Times No Need To Tell Everyone Close To You.

For me,disclosure is only necessary when I anticipate intimacy, even though I've been undetectable for years, so sexual transmission is unlikely. My immediate family has known since I was diagnosed, but we never have reason to discuss it. A few close friends know, others don't. I mean, how often to y'all disclose whether your belly button is an 'inny' or an 'outty'? Same shit.

Before disclosing my status, I ask myself
Does this person really need to know?
Does this person deserve to know my personal business?
Can I trust this person with knowing my status without worry about hearing about it from other people?
After almost 30 years poz I have very few regrets about who and why I disclosed.

That's what I refuse to go through if I tell people, I prefer to have it all to myself, I couldn't handle the rejection and negative looks.

Eso es a lo que me niego a pasar si le cuento a la gente prefiero tenerlo así solo para mí no podría con el rechazo y las miradas negativas
