Hi Catherine, my name is Camilo and I am monitoring the new Q&A section. Your question is a common question. Most people whom are infected find themselves unsure of the best way to accomplish this difficult task. Our featured expert, Dr. Grayson, wrote a great artiicle called: How to Tell Your Partner that will provide helpful suggestions on how to accomplish this. I also think that you should consult our Dating With a Sexually Transmitted Disease Section for more helpful tips on maintaining a healthy relationship despite being infected. I hope you found this helpful, please do not hesitate from posting with any other questions or concerns you may have.

 

Best of Luck,

CAM
