More than a million people in the United States are living with HIV, so you may know someone who has the virus. If your friend, family member, or co-worker has been HIV-positive for some time and has just told you, here’s how you can be supportive:

Acknowledge.
If someone has disclosed their HIV status to you, thank them for trusting you with their private health information.

Ask.
If appropriate, ask if there’s anything that you can do to help them. One reason they may have chosen to disclose their status to you is that they need an ally or advocate, or they may need help with a particular issue or challenge. Some people are public with this information; other people keep it very private. Ask whether other people know this information, and how private they are about their HIV status.

Reassure.
Let the person know, through your words or actions, that their HIV status does not change your relationship and that you will keep this information private if they want you to.

Learn.
Educate yourself about HIV. Today, lots of people living with HIV are on ART (antiretroviral therapy) and have the virus under control. Others are at different stages of treatment and care. Don’t make assumptions and look to your friend for guidance. A person with HIV who achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load—the amount of HIV in the blood—by taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) daily as prescribed cannot sexually transmit the virus to others.
