Answer
Testing HIV positive can be a tough time for most people. And if you’re pregnant you’ll be concerned about your baby too.
Telling other people you’re HIV positive is difficult because of the worry about what they might say. But perhaps you could find out what your friend thinks generally about HIV first. You could do this before you make it personal about you. This can give you a good idea about how they’ll react to you.
But people make their own judgements of course, and so if someone can’t accept it then perhaps that person is not right for you at this time.
However, getting support from partners and friends can help you stay well and make sure that your baby is healthy.
