ABSTRACT
In this book we have presented information about how individuals with HIV and those close to them manage disclosure decisions using a CPM perspective. We first examined the criteria or rules people develop to manage these decisions to disclose an HIV diagnosis. Next, we looked to the features of the actual HIV disclosure messages. Finally, we reviewed the consequences or outcomes for decisions to disclose an HIV diagnosis or to maintain privacy. This epilogue explores what the future may hold for research on HIV disclosure. The last section of the book (Appendix, after the Epilogue) presents resources for people dealing with these HIV disclosure issues.
