I am undetectable and always disclose my status before agreeing to a sexual encounter. Some guys are just fine, some on prep or positive. Encounters like the one in this story are difficult, leaving me feeling less of a human. I understand the fear. But I don't understand why it is only an issue for them when I tell them. Astoundingly, they don't ask, and do not practice safe sex. They are the next likely HIV+ person. They fear the disease but know nothing about it and being undetectable.
