When/how to disclose hep b in a potential relationship?

[PuallyHBV]

Hi there Evans,

Welcome to the community! Thank you for your post and participation. The disclosure of HBV in a potential relationship seems to be a hot topic. There has also been a new topic created about a week ago that may be of interest to you.

I mean, theoretically it shouldn’t be necessary, but there are also a few people on this forum who have experienced traumatic relationship experiences to do with their Hep B status. If you know you don’t have to explain your status to someone, that’s a big conversation (and potential relationship-ender) off the table. In the end, if it helps people with Hep B form relationships easier and be less alone, I would have a hard time arguing against it. TT

Maybe if enough people post, something can come of it. I can see the potential benefit for people with CHB wanting to date and not having to disclose because both parties already know they have CHB.

Again, welcome to hepbcommunity and I am sure you will find a lot of support here.
