“…Disclosure rates to a steady sexual partner were very different for stable relationships in France (88 %) and in the country of origin (53 %), probably because of fear of stigma and rejection by one's family in the country of origin, and the fear of indirect disclosure to other persons in their social network [16][17][18]. Rates of knowledge of a steady partner's serostatus was also very different between individuals who had disclosed (79 %) and those who had not (31 %).…”

To estimate rates and identify correlates of HIV disclosure in migrants from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) successfully treated, a sub-analysis was conducted in HIV-1 native SSA migrants, living in France with undetectable viral load on antiretroviral, included in the VIHVO adherence study. Logistic regression models assessed factors associated with HIV disclosure. Among 246 individuals (40 % male, median age 41), 79 % of those in a steady heterosexual partnership (n = 167) had disclosed their status to their partner, 55 % of the total 246 to a relative, and 33 % to (an)other person(s). Disclosure to one's steady partner was associated with a follow-up duration since HIV diagnosis of more than 5 years, a higher literacy level, a better social context and marital status. Women were more likely to disclose their HIV status to relatives. Interventions targeting this population should be provided to improve disclosure which in turn ensures better social support, testing of the partner and lower rates of undiagnosed HIV.

“…Often it is not clear if the SPs were current or past partners. The period of recall can affect the validity of responses if recall is over a long period of time or about several sexual experiences (Kalichman & Nachimson, 1999;Niccolai, King, D'Entremont, & Pritchett, 2006). One approach for addressing the problem of inaccurate recall is the use of activityby-partner checklists over periods of months (Mutchler et al, 2008;Parsons et al, 2005).…”

This exploratory study used a cross-sectional survey design with self-report to (a) describe serostatus disclosure to recent sex partners (SPs) among a multiethnic group of HIV-infected men from Hawaii, (b) explore factors influencing disclosure, and (c) examine relationships between disclosure and condom use. Respondents recalled their sexual experiences with up to three most recent SPs in the 3 months before survey administration. The men (N = 93) reported a disclosure rate of approximately 50% with 228 SPs. Disclosure was significantly influenced by SP serostatus, relationship status, self-efficacy for disclosure decision making, and cocaine use before sex. Disclosure was also significantly associated with condom use, highlighting the transmission risk reduction benefit of disclosure for these participants. HIV caregivers should routinely address disclosure to SPs and offer interventions to enhance condom use. Interventions for strengthening efficacy beliefs for disclosure decision making should be tailored to help men with multiple SPs and those with recent cocaine use.

“…stability of relationship, nature of relationship, personality of individual, and anticipated support); and the sociocultural context. Several factors are reported to be associated with disclosure, such as having a sexual relationship with a regular partner [6,7]; having severe or advanced illness related to HIV or a long duration since diagnosis [8]; and having a sexual partner with confirmed HIV infection [9,10].…”

Disclosure of HIV Serostatus to Sex Partners: A New Approach to Measurement

Abstract: Standard measures may underestimate nondisclosure. Counseling and interventions that promote disclosure should include strategies for disclosure in ongoing relationships, assistance in notifying past partners, and a focus on partnership characteristics and dynamics.
