Abstrakt:	Abstract: HIV status nondisclosure to sexual partners remains a major challenge in Tanzania's health system. This hospital-based, descriptive, cross-sectional study design recruited 380 people living with HIV (PLWH) to assess voluntary HIV status disclosure to sexual partners, the associated factors, and outcomes among PLWH in Tanzania. Approximately 78% ( n = 297) of the study participants reported disclosing their HIV status to their sexual partners. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that HIV status disclosure to sexual partners was significantly associated with living with a sexual partner (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.91, 95% CI [1.43-10.72]), knowledge of HIV disclosure (AOR = 11.71, 95% CI [2.88-47.63]), known serostatus of the sexual partner (AOR = 40.20, 95% CI [15.31-105.56]), and HIV disclosure-related stigma (AOR = 0.92, 95% CI [0.85-0.99]). Addressing these significant factors will maximize the magnitude of voluntary disclosure to sexual partners. (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.
