Best to leave it to the person with HIV to tell them. You wouldn't want to get stuck in the middle with tons of people angry at you.

I would def tell the people. it is their right to know, even if the other person doesn't tell, you would just be concerned with the other peoples good will.

It's not really your secret to tell, however I'd make sure the person with HIV knows that if they knowingly infect someone else they can be prosecuted. Maybe that would be enough to get them to stop. But honestly, do you know for a fact that they aren't telling the people they are with that they have it?

I think I'd speak to the person with HIV first to ensure they were using protection and not trying to murder their numerous partners. Then I'd think again according to the answer I'd got.

It is ignorance and total lack of morality and in some states punishable by law as attempted murder,and the worst of all is it is because of someone passing it around hopefully without knowing her status while doing so that I have to live the rest of my life with HIV.So as being knowingly positive I would go to that person tell them to tell all the sexual partners that you know of and to have them tell you he did so,if that doesn't make him do what is right then you tell them and i would tell the police also,remember someone divested my life in this manner,i would never give it to anyone and do everything possible to ensure it
