About Event
A workshop for straight males living with HIV, Straight Talk.
“I need to tell you something…”
“I’d like you to know that I’m…”
Sound familiar? Are you preparing to have this conversation again? For the first time? Perhaps with a friend, sex partner or family member? Sharing your status can be done well! We need to take into account our own style, needs and preferences when it comes to this important conversation.
At Straight Talk, we will have a chat about HIV Disclosure – but how it is for straight guys.
Straight Talk is led by other people living with HIV and aims to answer your questions, in a conversational but informed setting.
In this two-hour online group chat we will:
- Learn from each other to share tips on different ways to disclose in different settings
- Explore the benefits of sharing and not sharing, and the issues that may arise
- Consider settings where it may be necessary to share your status, according to the law
This session is for all straight guys living with HIV.
