It has created bonds with people
who admire that I am real andhonest. I have been able to touch
many lives through my story
as well, and still do. This does
not mean everyone has been
supportive, some boys who
were hitting on me would hearof my status and disappear.
It’s disheartening but I focus
on the reason I went out in thefirst place: to ensure that every
girl going through what I went
through would not feel alone.”

INTRODUCTION“disclosing,for me, wasthe most
rewardingand freeing
experience ihave had in mylife.

A person’s HIV status is private. It
is your right to choose whether totell someone (or ‘disclose’) that you
have HIV. However, there are somesituations where you are legallyrequired to share your status. This
guide explains what those situations
are so that you can have a greater
understanding of what to expect andyour rights and responsibilities.
This guide also contains some practical hints and tips
to support you if you do want to tell others (or not)that you have HIV. We have included real-life examples
throughout this guide, to show the diversity ofpeople’s experiences, along with advice from people
who have themselves disclosed.

DO I HAVE TODISCLOSE?

You do not have totell a sexual partnerthat you have HIV,as long as you
take appropriate
precautions toprevent sexuallytransmitting HIV.

?

In relationships

People living with HIV are entitled to an
active, healthy sex life. You do not haveto tell a sexual partner that you have
HIV, as long as you take appropriate
precautions to prevent sexuallytransmitting HIV.
What is considered appropriate
will depend on your personal
circumstances and the advice
you’ve been given by healthcare
professionals, but it could include
things like using recommended
precautions (e.g. condoms withlubricant) and following medical
advice (e.g. adhering to treatment so
you have an undetectable viral load).

I started seeing
someone just after being
diagnosed and he wasvery understanding.
We have been together
now for 18 months, he isnegative.”

My motto is tell a person before youinvest heavily both emotionallyand psychologically then have themleave when you are already too deep
down in the relationship and they
feel betrayed, it’s not fair.”Your HIV doctor or nurse can advise
you about protecting your sexual
partners, and what precautions you
should take. If you cannot get the
information you need, ask to speak toa peer supporter (another person who
has HIV and is trained to give support).
They can help you talk to your healthteam if you’re not feeling confident or
your questions aren’t being answered.

The thought of telling a sexual partner
may make you feel anxious, but there
could be advantages to being open
about your HIV status with them. It
might make you feel more relaxed, lessinhibited and it could bring you closer
together. If you have any doubts,
speaking with an HIV healthcare
worker or peer supporter can be really
helpful in planning how to tell partners
your HIV status.

If you don’t take precautions and don’t
disclose, then you could potentiallybe charged with a criminal offence
if you transmit (or, in Scotland, risk
transmitting) HIV to a sexual partner.
If you would like more information
about HIV and prosecution, details of
resources are included at the end of
this guide.

If you’ve been diagnosed with HIV
you may want to tell previous sexual
partners so that they can get tested
too. If you do not feel able to tell themyourself, a sexual health clinic canhelp and even do this for you without
mentioning your name.

at work
It is all very well disclosing when
you’re employed but you’ve also
got to think about the best time todisclose before your employment- do you tell them at the interview
stage? Because, if you don’t get thejob, is it because of your ability or
because of discrimination?

In most cases, it iscompletely your choice
whether or not to tell
your employer you haveHIV. Many people don’t
because they don’t thinkit’s relevant to their job.
However, a small number ofprofessions (described on
page 12) do have particularrequirements and you would
have to disclose or take an
HIV test to meet those.

Recruitment

HIV is considered a disability fromthe point of diagnosis under antidiscrimination law in the UK. Thismeans that people diagnosed with HIV
are protected from discrimination at
all stages of the employment process,including recruitment. If an employer
rejects a job applicant solely because
they have a disability, it is directdiscrimination and is unlawful.
Generally in Great Britain, it is unlawful
for an employer to ask you about yourhealth or disability before they’ve
offered you a job. This also means
they can’t refer you to an occupational
health practitioner until a job offer
is made. However, questions about
health and disability can be asked in a
few specific circumstances during theinitial stages of recruitment, e.g. you
could be asked about your ability tocarry out a task which is required forthe job, such as lifting heavy objects.

8 | your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv

Many people will feel that HIV has
made no difference to their health atall, whereas others may at times beunable to carry out certain tasks.
“In my interview I was asked if I haveany medical conditions that would
affect me doing manual lifting. I said‘no’ because my HIV hasn’t caused me
any problems.”“I was asked if I had any health issues
that would affect me working on
a production line. My HIV usuallywouldn’t but I had just started
treatment and my doctor mentioned it
could make me need to go to the toilet
more often, so I told them I need to use
the toilet regularly but I didn’t mention
HIV.”
Once an employer has made a job
offer they may ask questions relating
to health or disability. Often job offers
are conditional following satisfactory
pre-employment checks, including
medical checks and references. If there
is a genuine requirement, an employee
could be turned down for a job on
health and safety grounds.

However, to turn someone down justbecause they have HIV (when it has
no relevance to their ability to do ajob) would be discriminatory, and you
could take the employer to a tribunal.
Except in very limited circumstances(see page 12 on healthcare workers)
there is no reason why an HIV test
should be included in any medical
questionnaire/examination. If you
are asked to disclose your HIV
status on a medical questionnaire
after a job offer, you can ask before
completing the questionnaire what
the information will be used for, whowill have access to it and why specificquestions are necessary for the role.
Failing to respond honestly could beconsidered by an employer as grounds
for termination of employment,
though this could be challenged as
discriminatory and/or unfair dismissal.

your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv | 9

Managing HIV at work

Seeking redress

Employers cannot dismiss or treat aperson unfairly because they have HIV,or need a short time off work becauseof symptoms or the side effects oftreatment.

“I told my line manager who was very
supportive to begin with but once I
started to have a medical problem I
was managed out.”“My employers do not need to know
as I manage my appointments aroundwork.”
Although you are under no obligation,
there can be advantages to disclosing
your HIV status at work, particularly
if you want to request reasonableadjustments to help you do yourjob. Reasonable adjustments could
include things like time off for hospital
appointments, flexible working
hours to fit in with any side effectsof treatment, or privacy to takemedication. If you do disclose, youremployer must keep this information
confidential and the people you workwith do not need to know what yourcondition is (see the confidentiality
guide for more information).

If you think an employer has
discriminated against you, you cancontact the Equality and Human
Rights Commission (EHRC), Equality
Commission for Northern Ireland,or local Citizens Advice Bureau (seepage 27). If you belong to a union,
your union representative can also
support you. If necessary you canmake a discrimination claim in theemployment tribunal.

Challenging discrimination
at work

case
study

Josh had a good relationship with his manager anddisclosed his HIV status to him. However, it soon
became apparent to Josh that his manager had told
his co-workers. His colleagues began to isolate him
by excluding him from discussions and social events.
Josh became unwell and on returning to work was
dismissed from his post. He felt this was a clear caseof discrimination and sought advice from his Union.
He also spoke with a solicitor and they decided totake the employer to a tribunal. During this time,
Josh was asked to provide documentation about hishealth and employment – fortunately he had kept
detailed records of events. His HIV doctor was very
supportive and provided all the medical evidence
needed for the case. Just prior to the tribunal
hearing, Josh’s previous employer apologised andoffered him compensation, meaning the matter was
resolved out of court. Josh is still angry about how
he was treated, but is pleased that he stood up to
discrimination and the behaviour of his manager.

jobs where
there may be arequirement todisclose

HIV in the
military

Healthcare workers

Military personnel

Aviation workers

All healthcare workers who are
new to the NHS are offereda voluntary HIV test, and forworkers who will perform‘exposure-prone procedures’
this test is compulsory.
Exposure-prone procedures
are those where a worker’s
blood could come into
contact with a patient’s open
tissues. This includes surgery,midwifery and dentistry, wherea worker’s gloved hands
may be in contact with sharp
instruments, needle tips or
sharp pieces of bone or teeth.

The Army, Royal Navy andRoyal Air Force do not accept
applications from people
who are HIV-positive. Thisis the same for many healthconditions such as diabetes.
The military’s policy is that
although you cannot join the
military with HIV, if someone
is diagnosed after they
have joined they are able toremain in service. Guidance
will be given from a militaryoccupational viewpoint about
the most suitable placements
and roles within the military.

There are restrictions for
HIV-positive pilots and air
traffic control officers. These
restrictions are intended toensure that illness/medication
does not affect work
capability or judgment, andvary depending on whether
a person shows symptoms
related to HIV or medication.
UK Civil Aviation Authority
guidelines detail the various
assessments that are requiredof HIV-positive pilots and air
traffic control officers, and thetypes of restrictions that might
be put in place.

Healthcare workers with HIV
can undertake all procedures ifthey are on effective treatment.
They must also have an
undetectable viral load of HIV,and be regularly monitored.
There is official guidance in thisarea which is listed on page 28.

Conor wasdiagnosed withHIV while working
in the army. He
was very anxious
about disclosing
but wanted to behonest about his
status so he could
receive appropriate
medical treatment
if he needed it.
Upon disclosing
to the medical
officer, Conorwas surprised by
how positive a
response he got.
The medical officer
thanked Conor forhis honesty, andreassured him thathe could still havea fulfilling careerin the army. They
talked about thedifferent tasks that
Conor undertook
and ways tosafeguard hishealth should any
problems arise.

Receiving
healthcare
There is no legal
requirement for you todisclose your HIV status
before undergoing
any type of medical
examination or treatment.

All healthcare professionals use‘universal precautions’ to prevent thetransmission of blood-borne viruses
like HIV to and from patients. However,telling healthcare workers about yourstatus could help them to provide youwith better care.
“Telling your dentist, your optician,or your GP, is actually really useful
because they will be able to tell you
if need to get something checked. I
worked with dentists and they all werereally au fait with HIV; they knew what
they were looking for in the mouth andmight notice something quite early on
as an indicator of someone’s declining
health.”Disclosure to healthcare workers
can be particularly important as
HIV medications can interact withother types of medication, and otherconditions may be affected by HIV.
If you have any doubts, you can ask
your regular HIV specialist whether
disclosure to other health practitioners
could be beneficial.

14 | your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv“I think there is more benefit
to disclosure than not. Youmight not get on with yourGP or whatever, but if theyknow about your condition
they can treat a given ailment
with HIV in mind and issue
the appropriate medication
without the risk of interaction
or interference.”

If you disclose your HIV status toa medical practitioner, then thisinformation, like other medical
information, is protected byvarious laws. If you do not wantother healthcare providers, suchas your GP, to know your status, besure to make this clear to your HIV
specialist. See the accompanying
Choice guide on confidentiality formore details.

“I disclosed to my GP. I
respected myself and my GP and
decided to speak to her about it.
I always see the same GP, she’s
lovely, and she didn’t treat me
as a statistic or a number… shetreated me as an individual
and she spoke to me like shealways spoke to me, and I reallyrespected that.”

We are all entitled to fair andrespectful treatment when accessing
healthcare and it is illegal to treat
someone less favourably because
they have HIV.
You can find out more about yourrights in our accompanying Rights
guide.

Getting
insurance

When taking out insurance,
you have a legal obligation
to disclose all relevant
information and answer any
questions as honestly as
possible. Whether your HIV
positive status is considered‘relevant’ depends on
the type of insurance
you are applying for.

HIV status is unlikely to be relevant forhome and contents insurance or car
insurance. On the other hand, it will be
relevant if you are taking out insurance
cover on yourself. On all applications
for life assurance, critical illness coverand income protection insurance,
you will be asked if you have tested
positive for HIV or are awaiting theresults of a test. If the answer is yes,
you must say so. If you don’t disclose
when taking out these kinds of
insurance policies, then the insurancecompany won’t have to pay out for any
claim you make.
“I went to a bank to get a life insurance
policy, so my son would be supported
if I became unwell. They asked me if I
was HIV positive so I left the bank andsaid I would finish it afterwards. I thenwent to another bank and they asked
me the same question. I even foundsomebody online who advertised thatthey don’t ask you medical questions
but when I called them they did. I don’tknow what to do now as I don’t want todisclose...”16 | your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv

When considering life assurance
for people living with HIV, insurers
will consider factors such as yourCD4 count, viral load and time on
medication. The criteria can vary
between insurers so it’s important tospeak to a professional. The policies
available are likely to be restricted toterm assurance policies – this means
you would be covered for a fixed
period of time such as 10 or 25 years
rather than whole of life assurance
policies.

Same sex Couple

Life assurance is available to people
living with HIV but you will have todisclose your status to be covered.
Here are some real-life examplesof people living with HIV who
successfully received life assurance
from specialists in finding life
assurance for people living with preexisting medical conditions.

Young Couple with New Baby

“Ian, 32, is HIV positive and his
partner Peter, 30, does not haveHIV. Ian was initially declined cover
due to his status, but advisors at the
specialist agency were able to get
him the cover he needed. Ian had
been diagnosed eighteen months
before he was provided with coverand had a CD4 count of 584 and an
undetectable viral load.”“Lisa aged 32, living with HIV, andPatrick aged 29, who does not have HIV,were asked to take out life assurance by
the bank for their new mortgage, but
felt intimidated by the HIV questions
they were asked on their application
form. Through a specialist insurancecompany for people living with longterm conditions, their application wasapproved. Lisa had been diagnosed six
years previously, has a CD4 count of 827
and an undetectable viral load.”

You should always make sure youread and understand the small print
on insurance agreements prior todisclosing or entering into a contract.

You may also be asked about yourHIV status when you take out travel
insurance. Policies that cover medical
expenses usually exclude claims
arising from pre-existing conditions,and some companies may refuse
to provide travel insurance at all.
If you are having problems withfinding insurance, there are a rangeof companies that can provide HIVspecific cover.
When filling out an insurance
application, you might have tosign a form confirming that youconsent to your GP disclosing healthinformation about you. For example,
an AMRA (Access to Medical Records
Agreement) that will allow theinsurance company to approach bothyour GP and consultant for information.

If your doctor is contacted by yourinsurer, they will have to provide all
relevant information, including yourHIV status. You can find out more about
this in our confidentiality guide.
You should always read the small
print on insurance agreements prior
to either disclosing or entering into
a contract. You can also contact
insurance companies anonymously to
ask them questions about disclosure inadvance.

Travelling abroad

Playing sports

In education

Most countries allow
visitors who are livingwith HIV, but some dorestrict people whoare HIV positive fromentering the country
or staying for long
periods of time. If a visa
application form asks
you about your HIV
status, you are legallyrequired to disclose.
If you don’t disclose
when asked, and theauthorities in yourdestination country findout, you could run therisk of a fine or evenimprisonment for making
a false declaration.

There is no requirement
to disclose your statuswhen participating in thevast majority of sports.
However, certain contact
sports such as boxing
may require participants
to undergo a medical
examination, including
an HIV test, in order tocompete professionally.

If you are a student
or you have children
with HIV, there is norequirement to informthe school, university
or college. Education
providers cannot lawfully
discriminate against
someone because of
their HIV status. Thereis also a legal duty on
education providers
to make reasonableadjustments for people
living with HIV, if theyneed them, to allow
them to take part ineducation.

Before you travelinternationally, you
should always make sure
you are aware of the laws
in the countries you plan
to visit. This information
is usually available fromthe consular offices ofeach country.

IS THERE A
RIGHT WAY TODISCLOSE?

Deciding whether or not totell someone you have HIV
can be a difficult decision.

Many people fear the impactthat disclosing will have on theirrelationships with partners, friends,
family and colleagues. However, telling
people you have HIV can also be a
rewarding experience: the burden of
keeping a secret can be lifted, people
can be brought closer together, andbetter support can be offered.
There is no right or wrong way to tellsomeone that you have HIV, and no
set of rules that should always befollowed. How you wish to disclose ispersonal to you. Remember, you havecontrol over who you tell, and whenand how you tell them. You may decide
you don’t want to tell anyone at all.
Consider your own needs first and say
only what feels comfortable. Below aresome points and tips about disclosurethat you may find useful to consider.
Think carefully about who you want totell, and why you want them to know.

20 | your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv

If you want to tellsomeone, make sure totell someone you trust.

It could be helpful to write out a list of
the advantages and disadvantages oftelling a particular person to help you
decide. For each person you want totell, ask yourself if the person needs toknow now or if it’s better to wait.
“I am normally a very open person sohave struggled to keep it from family,
but I now feel there is no rush. I will tellthem when I’m ready. So remember: dowhat’s right for you, in your own way,with support, in your own time.”
If you want to tell someone, makesure to tell someone you trust. You
can never take a disclosure back andtelling others means you have lesscontrol over how that information isshared. You should be careful about
disclosing to people who might notrespect your privacy.
“If you don’t want to disclose to certain
people, that’s OK. It’s whatever is rightfor you, whatever is going to help you
feel happy and safe. Once you havetold someone you can’t un-tell them, sojust be sure.”

Think about how they may react.
Remember the emotions you felt when
you found out and be prepared forothers to have their own reactions.
Think about whether you are confident
that you can deal with their reaction.
Disclosing your status can be a hugerelief. Although some people will
experience rejection, many people findthat friends and family are extremely
supportive. Be prepared for a varietyof reactions: what’s the best you canhope for and worst you might have todeal with?
“I’ve got two sisters and disclosed toboth of them on the same day. My
youngest sister was first and she burst
into tears. But my other sister, she
was the exact opposite, she was reallypractical. When I told her, she asked
how I’d got it and that was it. She was
supportive and open with her kids
about it as well. Both were positive
experiences but it just shows you,within your own family, how two people
can react totally different from one
another.”

your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv | 21

Get support. It may help to talk to
support services, a peer supporter, ora healthcare professional you trust,before disclosing to family, friends
and partners.

“The main reaction I got from friends
was concern, they wanted to know I
was getting the right support and thatmy health was improving.”“Chatting about HIV with people
around you first, and getting to know
their level of understanding andreasoning on the subject, can be really
helpful before disclosing.”
Make it clear that knowledge of yourstatus is something you’re trustingthem with, and that it’s confidential.
Be clear whether it is okay for them totell other people – you may want to tellthem to ask your permission before
they tell anyone else.
“Be certain that people you want todisclose to have an understanding
about HIV, and that they won’t
discriminate against you or use theinformation against you in the future.”

Be prepared for questions. If you are
the first person they know who has
HIV, they will be on a learning curve.
Be prepared with answers to themost likely queries – they may havequestions on the basic facts or worries
about prevention and testing. Giving
them written information about HIV
that they can look at later could be
helpful. Places where you can accessinformation and support are listed at
the end of this guide.
“I had newspaper articles that I would
have someone read if it was too hard totalk face to face, or I would bring themto advocacy forums with me so they
could hear me speak.”“Knowing the facts
and educating myself
helped me, so when I told
someone and they had
questions, I had somebasic answers. It helped
me feel more confident.”“Don’t wind yourself up about it, andif the subject comes up unexpectedly,
don’t get quiet or embarrassed. You’rein a position to educate people fromyour personal experience.”

22 | your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv

your voice a guide to disclosure and hiv | 23

You should also consider whichquestions you’re comfortableanswering. People may ask you how
you got HIV and if you don’t want
to share that information it could
be helpful to have a reply ready inadvance.
Get support. It may help to talk to
support services, a peer supporter, ora healthcare professional you trust,before disclosing to family, friends andpartners. They can offer you support totell people, help you clarify what you
want to say and prepare you for any
questions. They could also link you to
support groups or other people who
can help you in the disclosure process.
Remember to make yourself a priority.
Have a support person lined up to callafterwards or even bring the personwith you for the discussion.
“I don’t have to do it alone, I can havesomeone with me if I need them… The
fact that I can talk to a counsellor too
about how I feel about disclosure has
been helpful. It has helped me discuss
any anxieties or fears.”“I always say topeople, if they are
feeling worried
about anything, totalk to someone.
There are people
there to give
support. I also try totalk to people about
my own positive
experiences as it’sreassuring to havepeer support - totalk to someone who
has been through it
already.”

Know your rights.
You have the right tobe treated fairly andequally, and your HIV
status must not be
used as a reason todiscriminate. You cannot
be refused a service
because of being HIV
positive, or because
someone thinks you
might be. See our rights
