description: In a community that isn't always understanding an HIV-positive teen must navigate fear disclosure and radical self-acceptance when she falls in love--and lust--for the first time. Powerful and uplifting Full Disclosure will speak to fans of Angie Thomas and Nicola Yoon. Simone Garcia-Hampton is starting over at a new school and this time things will be different. She's making real friends making a name for herself as student director of Rent and making a play for Miles the guy who makes her melt every time he walks into a room. The last thing she wants is for word to get out that she's HIV-positive because last time . . . well last time things got ugly.Keeping her viral load under control is easy but keeping her diagnosis under wraps is not so simple. As Simone and Miles start going out for real--shy kisses escalating into much more--she feels an uneasiness that goes beyond butterflies. She knows she has to tell him that she's positive especially if sex is a possibility but she's terrified of how he'll react! And then she finds an anonymous note in her locker: I know you have HIV. You have until Thanksgiving to stop hanging out with Miles. Or everyone else will know too. Simone's first instinct is to protect her secret at all costs but as she gains a deeper understanding of the prejudice and fear in her community she begins to wonder if the only way to rise above is to face the haters head-on...
