Disclose hiv + status even if we use protection?

I was diagnosed with HIV about a year ago since then I have not been able to engage in sexual activities. I am very conflicted by the possibility that I may pass the virus on. It is not a necessity to have sex and I am well aware of the consequences of having it unprotected. However, if there is an arrangement for protected sex, should there be a disclosure of health conditions?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Disclose it always before you put someone at risk of a life-ruining illness, you piece of shit!

    Pretty sure it's a legal requirement.

  • Thank you all for the feedback, I agree and I am not a piece of shit btw that is the reason why I have not engaged in sex. I just wanted some feedback i suppose and maybe subconsciously to get it out of my chest. RoseIsabella thank you for the sympathy.

    Yes, disclose it. In the US, it’s a serious crime to pass along HIV to an unsuspecting partner. Plus, you’re a complete POS as a human if you do so.

    Tell them. Condons can fail. If someone gave me hiv without telling me they had it. Well I would go out of my way to ruin what is left of there life if not just straight up kill them as slowky as i can. Already doomed to die would hate to not get my revenge in

    Condoms are not always effective.

    Sorry that you are HIV positive, but you need a be honest with anyone you want to be intimate with.

    If I really fell for someone I would sleep with them anyway as long as we used a condom and I was taking prep.

    You have to tell them though, no two ways about it.

    Sorry to hear you've got it, hope it all works out OP
