I'm newly diagnosed 6 months ago.
3 months ago my childhood love reached out to me and we haven't left each other side.
I want to tell him because I am comfortable with him I want to be with him forever our moments together are amazing and I'm scared  :( :(

ms.kc  i didn't want to read and not respond.....i haven't been yet where you are....im nowhere near being new to this but i do hope someone reaches out to you.  The only thing i can say from reading the mens comments on other strings is that if it's meant to be it will be. I know that doesn't mean alot bc you seem to have feelings. But if i was him i would want to know and respect you more for being honest - that goes a long way in this day in age. Sorry i couldnt be of more help!  I am hoping someone else can

Hi Ms Kc,
I'd disclose to him. I won't be confortable getting into a relationship with someone I have feelings for if he did not know my status. If he loves you, he will look past beyond your status.
Goodluck.
K
Take it a day at a time....and be positive about it too!

I agree with everyone else.  I'd disclose right away.  If he is bothered by your status, it's better to know now instead of getting more and more attached to him.  Either way, the process of having to disclose could be a blessing in disguise because you are able to separate the men who really care about you from those who aren't that serious.
