Shownotes Transcript

Do you need to tell your dentist about your HIV status? How about your GP? Do you need to disclose your status to get a mortgage, and how does it work with life insurance? It can be stressful working out who you have to tell about your HIV status versus who you want to tell. In the first of 3 episodes focusing on HIV disclosure, we try to make navigating this slightly easier by focusing on who needs to know and who doesn't.
