Should I Tell Him?

Dear Fly Guy,
I’ve been searching for answers, and don’t know who else to turn to. During a relationship six years ago, my boyfriend at the time cheated on me, and as a result, I contracted HIV. For a long time, I felt like my life was over, but have since learned to make the most of things. But here’s my problem. I recently met a guy and think that he’s amazing. I want to get close to him, but know that in order to do so I have to tell him everything about me. Once he knows, I’m sure he’s going to head for the hills. So what should I do? I really don’t want to lose him.

Dear Anna,
Thanks for writing me. After reading your letter, I will agree that you’re in a difficult position–but not one that can’t be overcome. As you have come to realize, HIV isn’t the end of your life. But in order to develop a meaningful relationship with someone in the aftermath, you have to be completely honest with them. Now I’ll admit that this would be a tough pill for most people to swallow. But if this guy is as special as you say he is, then he’s earned the right to know the truth, and the opportunity to decide for himself. Just know that your worth as a woman isn’t based on his response. No matter what the outcome, continue to keep your head up, and continue to keep pushing forward. In the end, I still believe that love has a unique way of conquering all … even through difficult times like these. Keep me posted on how things develop.
