Managing Your Health, 1999 edition

Life After Diagnosis

Other people you deal with
You have the right to privacy, and it's up to you to decide whether you're going to give personal information to someone. Unfortunately, some people still discriminate against those who have HIV. Use your judgement with people you don?t know very well. If you don't want people you tell to tell anyone else, make that clear.

In most cases, your employer and the people you work with do not need to know. Landlords and neighbours do not need to know. Unfavourable reactions could affect your housing situation or cause other problems that you don't need.
