TL;DR

Self-disclosure of HIV-positive serostatus to family, friends, and intimate lovers among asymptomatic and symptomatic men who varied in length of time since HIV-seropositive diagnosis is assessed.

Abstract

Many asymptomatic men inform few or no significant others of their HIV infection in the first few months after HIV diagnosis. Given the generally supportive reactions reported, HIV-seropositive men should be encouraged, when appropriate, to inform family, friends, and intimate lovers of their serostatus.
