Gone? That's a positive attitude that he/she needs right now. NOT. Go tell them honey. NOW. You need their support and their help. They love you and will want to help you in any way they can.

TELL THEM..PLEASE!!! my brother died from HIV 8 yrs ago, he never told us. i wish he had. Only he and the doctor new. I just wish he would have told us, we would have soported him 101% and i would have tried to make the best out of his last days. I have sooooo many questions, that will never be answered. We miss him a lot!!!

I too lost my broher 4yrs ago & I still haven't healed yet. Some days I wish I could be with him wherever he is. The day I found out I felt my whole world collapse but I cherished the last 6yrs we had together. Please tell someone so you can feel loved & supported.

Keep it to yourself and deal with it. You don't have to confess to everyone. Take your medication and enjoy life and take care of your body and what you put into it !

I found out I was hiv+ in 1986 & kept the esame secret from my family for 15 years. I eventually told them. The news will be painful for them to hear, but they need to know in your own time. You can live a "normal" life with hiv/aids now it isn't like was back in the 1980's & early 1990's. Take care of yourself.

They'll sure find out sooner or later :D
Remove this stupid comment

They will find out soon enough, how do you afford your medication? When you shrivel up and are hospitalised they will find out. You may go ahead and tell them before this kind of thing floors them, maybe thay can help.

I got mixed up in a homicide/suicide where a guy tried to kill his girlfriend and her two kids. I was soaked in this guys blood......soaked. He ended up dying but I ended up on Combivir and a multitude of other meds as prevention against HIV "Just in case". It was hell on me until I was given the all clear. The meds were horrible and I have sympathy for you. Take care of yourself and do what you feel is best as far as letting your parents know. In your heart you already know.

I've been positive since 1985. My aunt was a hospice nurse and she noticed my meds. She said to me, "If you want me to tell them I will, or we can do it together,or we can wait till it's a need to know basis" She made sure that it was "WE". Tell a close family member so you have some support if you need it, YOU WILL NEED IT!. When it comes time to tell them it will feel right. My parents were/are the best, still around me every day supporting me even though they are both now passed. HIV makes you value every day if you have a bit of sense and a working brain cell. Don't waste your time,it is too damn precious.

Its your body, its your choice who you tell, but if it stresses you out you should tell cause with a compromised immune system stress is not good, take care of yourself, take your meds and stay compliant make sure you have a great dr that specializes in HIV and keep a positive outlook, you can live a long prosperous life as the disease is very manageable today, but you do need support in some form, so you decide. I wish you the best life has to offer

Tell them,please. My father had cancer for years and we found out Jan 4 1985 and he died Jan 29 1985. It torments all of us that he didn't share this with us. Some of us lived out of town and didn't make it back before he died. There was so much more we could have done to help him. To make him more comfortable, helped with bills, cooking, cleaning. And most important spend time with him. They will want to know.

58 year old male Father of 7. Don't say anything. Parents by nature are worriers. Even if you don't,they will.Your odds of survival are very great.
Remove this stupid comment

tell those that need to know, and your family don't need to know. you will likely live a long and productive life, outliving your parents and many others... take your meds if you need them, (not all do)... see your doctor regardless, live a good honest, health life. You are of the few that have seen your mortality, the likely hood of death so near. Live everyday like it's your last, leaving the world a better place, I have...

If you are sleeping with one of the people you are talking about, you need to tell them. When they find out, and they will, you could face criminal charges for not telling.
