Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted with frontline workers in AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) across Canada, we explore the emotionally laden nature of disclosure for people living with HIV and those who counsel them. Emotions shape the narrative arc of disclosure and counselling practices, commanding significant emotional labour
