The best time to disclose your HIV status when dating someone depends on your comfort level and the nature of the relationship. Some choose to disclose before the first date, while others wait until the relationship becomes more serious. It can also help to wait until your HIV is under control, as being undetectable allows you to share your status with confidence. Choose a safe, comfortable setting and consider discussing HIV-related topics first to gauge their understanding and attitudes.

I would advise to disclose right away, assuming you have a mutual interest or you are dating. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time and the other person's if they cannot accept it. Time is precious.
