Gay and HIV + men have no qualms revealing HIV status

Earlier studies had revealed that those HIV positive men who do not hide their status are also confident of seeking medical assistance and are therefore open to novel therapies, and help form support groups. This is also known to help them enjoy the support of their families which inclines their disassociation with risky behavior, often the bane of HIV+ people. It is also observed that such men who receive backing from their families do not suffer depression.

The findings are published in the April issue of the journal Aids Education and Prevention.
