Two-and-a-half New Disclosure Resources for People Living with HIV

Let Them Know: Why and how to share your HIV story

Let Them Know is a national, peer-led disclosure resource created by and for people living with HIV. It supports people to decide if, when and how they might share their HIV status, recognising that there is no single right way to disclose.

The resource brings together lived experience, practical guidance and community knowledge, including how to talk about HIV today, navigating stigma and other people’s reactions, and stories from people across diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Developed by Living Positive Victoria, the resource is free to access and share, mobile friendly, and supported by ViiV Healthcare and the National Association of People Living with HIV Australia (napwha).

Disclosing your HIV status: Your rights and responsibilities in Victoria

Developed in partnership with the HIV/AIDS Legal Centre (HALC), this information resource supports people living with HIV to understand their rights, responsibilities and protections when it comes to disclosure in Victoria.

It explains that there are very few situations where disclosure is legally required and clearly separates legal requirements from non-legal considerations. The resource covers privacy, freedom from discrimination, common myths about having a “duty of care” to disclose, and how to protect your rights.
