Little has sofar appeared in thefamily counseling literature concerning disclosure to family members of HIVpositive status. Yet disclosure is necessary if HIVpositive individuals are to garner support from their families or family members are to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from contracting the disease (e.g., spouses).
