It's best just disclose because you never know how someone will react when they find out.we can't force anyone to believe in U=U
@A myHIVteam Member they wouldn’t even listen to me so I just gave up.
Well my laws state you have to and mine didn’t I tried to pursue legality on him but the detectives said it would be hard to prove. I said to him how I was tested in April and didn’t have it then started dating him in May and we did use a condom and he took it off while having sex. Then in October I was positive. He said with the laws he couldn’t legally look at his records…. But the CDC knows when I got and who I stated giving it to me and they knew when he got it because we are in the same state. So tell me that logic how and why can’t the CDC just take it into their own hands and notify the police and or detectives them selves… it is a class 3 felony to do this to a person punishable up to 15 years in prison…. It is not fair!
1) In Michigan, you no longer have to disclose your HIV status if you are undetectable, although you really should. BUT, if you ARE DETECTABLE, you STILL HAVE TO DISCLOSE that status.
How this was done in Michigan, someone wrote to every congress member in the state, gave them all the studies, all the information, what the drugs can now do, what is a myth but still believed to be true. It took several years to get to the point of becoming a law, but it finally happened.
As for disclosing your HIV status to partners, many people misunderstand the HIPAA law. The majority of people think that HIPAA covers everyone, but it does NOT. If your employer wanted to tell me your life story about your medical history, they CAN. Your employer is NOT a covered entity under the HIPAA protocols. Your neighbors, your friends, your family, your boyfriend's grandmothers, neighbor's sister in laws husband, brother's gay lover's daughter's fiancé's cousin can tell me anything they want about your medical history. The only places that can NOT DISCLOSE your medical records under HIPAA are:
A Health Care Provider:
Doctors
Clinics
Psychologists
Dentists
Chiropractors
Nursing Homes
Pharmacies
A Health Plan:
Health insurance companies
HMOs
Company health plans (your boss is NOT a health plan company, and neither is the company they work for). This would be your health insurance company you get from your job.
Government programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the military and veterans' health care programs
A Health Care Clearinghouse:
This includes entities that process nonstandard health information they receive from another entity into a standard (i.e., standard electronic format or data content), or vice versa.
Anybody or any place that is NOT listed above CAN FREELY talk about your medical conditions and history and NOT be breaking the law. HIPAA ONLY APPLIES TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED THINGS. Most people think HIPAA covers everybody, everything, and every place and it does not.
