I think it would be a good idea to figure out how to get in touch with these women and let them know. Even though you may have only been with these women one time, it is entirely possible that the person who gave it to you has no idea that she has the virus herself. This is a disease that needs to be treated right away, and is very contagious as I'm sure you know. With the right combination of drugs, you will live a healthy life and it is only fair to give these women you slept with the same opportunity.Health Question & Answer

It depends. There are partner notification teams in most states, if you have such people you can turn it over to them. They will take the names, contact the people who have been exposed. They will tell the people that there is a chance they were exposed, they will not mention your name, and encourage the women to test.Health Question & Answer

Your state's Department of Health can help find and notify them. In PA, the Health Dept. would notify the people that they need to be tested, but they would not reveal the name of the person who is HIV+ (you, in this case).

It is very important that you find a specialist who deals with HIV. Follow his or her advice about treatment. That could help you live healthier, longer. You may also want to find a support group, if you have not done so already.Health Question & Answer

Sorry to hear that, I would try to get their numbers through people or even on the internet if you remeber their names. You dont have to do it but you have to put yourself in their place right now, you dont want them to keep spreading the virus. I know it is hard on you right now you should get someone very close to you to help you and recieve counslingHealth Question & Answer

It is a standard protocol to report the names of those you have in contact with and inform them about your situation. I sympathize with you I hope there are still things that can be done. Health Question & Answer

Depending on where you live, if you know their names, they can be passed on to a sexual healthcare worker and they can track them down and inform them.Health Question & Answer
