Post Should I tell my partner?

I have had sex with my partner 3 times without a condom, but I have not informed him that I am HIV+. He made it clear that are relationship would be sexual only. I always bring the condoms and beg him to wear them, but he refuses. I'm scared that if I tell him he will hurt me. I remember how I felt when I found out my partner was infected and had been keeping it from me. I recently found out that he lied to me about his first and last name but he doesn't know that I have this information. Should I just walk away from the relationship or do I inform him? Please help!

Regardless of wheather or not the relationship is strictly sexual, you have a duty to tell someone you are hiv positive. That is not only wrong, but downright selfish! In some states, if you willingly have sex with someone and you know you're hiv positive and don't protect yourself, thats attempted murder.

You should not have sex with anyone without telling them your hiv status. At this point, I think you should stop having sex with him, and if you don't want to tell him your status, then contact the health department in your area to alert him anonymously through partner notification services. You can't help what other people choose to do, but you do have a responsiblity to protect others since you are aware of your hiv status.

He may already be hiv poz himself, did you think of that? Someone who insists on having unprotected sex is at high risk. In that case, you're putting yourself at risk for hiv superinfection. Only you can deciede what to do, however. You can get through this if you do what is right. Good luck to you and God Bless.

You should ALWAYS inform your status and practice safe sex to protect yourself as well as your partner even when your partner doesn't want to have protection.
"I did it because I was told me to do so" is never a valid argument.
