Telling others about your HIV status can be a deeply personal, and often painful, decision. Some people find support. Others face silence, awkwardness, or stigma, even from those they love most.
💠Have you been there?
How did you choose who to tell, and when?
What reactions surprised or hurt you the most?
What helped you feel safe or empowered in those conversations?

You never owe anyone your story, but if you’ve chosen to share it, your experience matters.
