Enacting Personal HIV Disclosure Policies for Sexual Situations

Given successes in treating HIV/AIDS, there are increasing numbers of sexually active HIV-positive people. Although there is a current public health emphasis on testing interventions to reduce HIV transmission by people who know they are HIV positive, understanding how people enact decisions to disclose their HIV seropositivity is needed. HIV Disclosure Decision Making in Sexual Situations, a grounded theory based on interviews with 15 HIV-positive gay men, hypothesizes and interprets a two-part process wherein HIV-positive gay men form personal disclosure policies that they contextualize to various dating and sexual situations. In this article, the author depicts the second part of the grounded theory with its five interlocking components of the process of enacting HIV disclosure in sexual situations
