Link A study of HIV-positive individuals in New Orleans, Louisiana, found that the majority of patients disclosed to their main partners and family members, but less than one fourth disclosed to any casual sex partner. Older age and lower CD4 cell counts were associated with disclosure. Here, they found that many HIV-infected individuals delay disclosure until their disease has progressed. Interventions such as partner notification and skill-building to facilitate appropriate HIV disclosure are needed.
