To Disclose or Not to Disclose: That is the Question

I’ve heard a lot of different positions on the topic of disclosure to partners. What do you think about disclosure?

      It’s important & illegal not to. A person can’t fully consent to sex if they don’t know your diagnosis ❤️ I wish I’d had the opportunity to consent but sadly I didn’t. I promise telling people is a lot easier than it seems ❤️

      It's absolutely necessary to disclose before sex at least, if not and they get it from you there's chance for them to file a lawsuit against you. I know because I filed against the person who gave it to me.

      What if you just found out about the condition coming from your past partner but you’ve been with someone new that’s on and off that have it now because of you . But you wasn’t aware before till now. Is it necessary to let them know it was because of you?

      I think its important to be open and honest with all partners. Now how soon you disclose is up to you but idk I find it to be emotionally manipulation to withhold it until you feel like you've gotten them to like you enough to be ok with it. I think being open and honest early on is the better choice
