Some people understand, whereas other do not.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe see how he reacts in a general conversation &#8211; not about you but maybe a friend or someone in the news. Then based on their response decide based on your instinct.\u00a0If you think he&#8217;ll understand then tell him.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to answer questions that he might have may help. For example, he may ask if he&#8217;s at risk. If you&#8217;re on medication and your viral load is undetectable, then you can them him this.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are still frightened about HIV and don&#8217;t know the treatment prevents any risk. Please Google U=U for more info on this.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully he will also ask how you feel and how you manage this. About you about your quality of life.
