HIV History - Charlie Sheen Part 1

Do you need to tell your dentist about your HIV status? How about your GP? Do you need to disclose your status to get a mortgage, and how does it work with life insurance? It can be stressful working out who you *have* to tell about your HIV status versus who you *want* to tell. In the first of 3 episodes focusing on HIV disclosure, we try to make navigating this slightly easier by focusing on who needs to know and who doesn't.This episode is sponsored by OraQuickOraQuick HIV Self-Test gives you more control, allowing you to test yourself accurately anytime, anywhere, using an oral fluid sample.
