If you have this dreaded disease, would you tell your girlfriend or boyfriend that you have aids? If so, How would you tell it?

Yes I would tell them. This is what I would tell them. "We need to talk. I have to be honest with you. I realize that I may lose you. But I care for you to much to not tell you. It isnt fair to you or me if I do not. I have aids." I then would explain to them how I got it. I would apologize for not telling them sooner. I would also ask for forgiveness and let them know that at the very least I would like it if we could remain friends.

You must tell immediately, it's against the law not to in some places, gently, and let them go free

As hard as it would be I would tell my husband. I know he loves me & would stay by my side, but because I love him I could not & would not endanger him like that. I'm not sure how to tell someone something like that, it would be hard & heartbraking. But better to break his heart than to endanger his life.

If you get aids i think that you have to tell your partner because you could infect them and they have a right to know that.

God forbid if ever I had AIDS I am absolutely sure that I would let my wife know about it first. Spouses & girl/boyfriend should be first to know about it as they must get them selves checked for this.

of course i will tell him..there's no way to go about it except to be very straight forward 'i have AIDS and i think you better go for the test too' it will be a major blow...but at that stage, all i can do is that he can come out negative

It would be very unfair or rather criminal if i would not tell me patner my HIV status.. I and my hubby make it a point to get a HIV screening done every year along with a health checkup.

I would definitely tell her my girl that I am suffering from AIDS, I don't want to keep this sceret upto me and waste her life. This is the dreaded disease which can spread easily between men and women so I'll keep distance with her and I would tell her that I am having AIDS. I don't care after listening to this wheter she will be with me or go away.

of course i will. i know it will be hard to tell them about this because i am sure they don't want to hear anything about this, but no matter what will happen you must tell them. if you didn't tell them what will happen with them, i think if they are late to know an you have infected them your disease it will hurt them before it happen just tell them exactly what happen to you and make them to understand your condition, if they want to leave you it's not a problem, but if they don't want to leave you, you must happy because i think they really love you from their heart because they want to be with you no matter what happen...

Oh my gosh, yes. There is no question about it. It is the responsible thing to do. I mean, if you are dating them then there is a chance this is the person that you are going to spend the rest of your life with. They are going to find out eventually. Even if they aren't the person you will spend the rest of your life with they need to know because of the health risks to them.

Yes, i would definitely tell her that I am having AIDS, and encourage her to go for test for herself also, its not very nice thing to do by not telling her, if your life is ruined by the diesease, you should not ruined others, I will face this and I will explain her all, no matter, if she leaves me or stay beside me.
