The article focuses on a study, which examines whether HIV-positive gay man feel regret as a consequence of disclosing their HIV serostatus. It further investigates whether or not characteristics of social and sexual network members influenced the likelihood of experiencing regret. 76 HIV-positive gay men, who completed a longitudinal study of HIV disclosure and had at least one social or sexual network member that was aware of his HIV infection, were included in the study. There was a very low incidence of regret among HIV-positive gay men. 63% of the participants reported 0% regret and 75% of the men had regret percentages that were less than 7%. The highest percentages of regret were seen in the nuclear family. Percentages of regret instances were lowest among HIV professionals and support group, peripheral relations, friends, extended family and sex partners in a committed relationship. There were no differences in the occurrence of regret for either first or second hand disclosure. |
