Telling your partner
If you have spent time discussing having an HIV test with your partner, then you may have a good idea of what their reaction might be. If you didn’t discuss this, then think about the practicalities of telling your partner and what their reaction might be. It could be that your HIV status could have health implications for your partner. Your partner might be a wonderful source of support and love. But on the other hand, telling your partner you have HIV could also put stress on your relationship.
