GENERAL GUIDELINES
Here are some things to think about when you're considering telling someone that you're HIV-positive:
Know why you want to tell them. What do you want from them?
Anticipate their reaction. What's the best you can hope for? The worst you might have to deal with?
Prepare by informing yourself about HIV disease. You may want to leave articles or a hotline phone number for the person you tell.
Get support. Talk it over with someone you trust, and come up with a plan.
Accept the reaction. You can't control how others will deal with your news.
Also quoted:
How
Blurting things out all at once is certainly one way of getting out the fact that you're positive. But healthy disclosure is a process that may require many discussions and contemplations.
Think of disclosing your HIV as the beginning of a new dialogue with the ones you most love and trust. Not only will they learn about you through this process, but you'll learn a lot about yourself as well. The starting point may be your saying "I have something to tell you -- I have HIV." But chances are, that isn't going to be the final word.
Setting the stage for disclosure can make a big difference. Think about where you want to tell -- a place where you feel comfortable and safe. If possible, line up some place safe for you to go after the initial disclosure, like a friend's house or a support group.
Consider bringing a few pamphlets about HIV or an HIV hotline card for the person you're telling. Not only might they use these resources later but having them helps that person know you're not alone, that there's support for you -- and for them. Consider bringing someone who already knows you're living with HIV.
Remember that their first reaction is not going to be their last. Like you, those who you love need time to adjust to this new information. Finally, be brave and proud of the decision you've made!
______________
It's going to be hard but you do need to tell your close friends and family. This way you'll have a support group. The people that love you will stand by you and support you.
Sorry to hear about it. Good Luck!

Ecko you really need to come talk to me because
I know there are things to cure a person who has HIV
It is hydrogen peroxide 35% food grade
and must be used with extreme care, because it burns.
I use it and have for years .
It kills many virus. People do not know of this
product.
But a priest who was a scientist along with a Doctor from
the mayo clinic worked together on reverse osmosis
This is a deep subject and takes up a lot of time.
But know this 8 drops of this 32%food grade
hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of water
will purify the blood.
Do the research sweetheart
go here And God Bless you

I would get a big birthday sheet cake with a lot of surface area and then write on it "I HAVE HIV" in a nice cursive script font, with red frosting.

Today everybody knows about HIV, so take it easily and tell your friend, otherwise misunderstanding will happen.

This has to be awkward for you beyond belief. You need to do it quickly, especially if they could be at risk of having it as well. They need to get tested. If you hold out a long time before answering, they may feel like you don't trust them. Be honest and do it quickly.

Telling your friends is probably going to be hard...but you are going to need there support...if you have your own place...invite them all over...for dinner...or coffee & sweets...but the sooner you tell them...the better...if you don't live on your own...ask one of your friends if they mine if you have a gathering over there place...take it from there...don't tell them in a public place...and try not to tell them over the phone...
Keep yourself safe...and look into all your options...even if those options take you to another state...read as much as you can about the different treatments out there...
Good luck & take care!

You only need to tell people you're having sexual encounters with or sharing a needle with, other than that you don't need to tell anybody. How to to tell anyone is tough because they will most likely ask how you caught it. Tell them you think they should be check for this disease because your doctor says you have it.

you could always write him/her a letter/poem, that's what I usually do when I don't want to come out and say. Then again it will be in writing. Screw your friend, you better tell the ppl you've slept with.
Sorry to hear about that though. God bless
