Re: disclosure of HIV status to child protective service
Many areas of Texas are quite enlightened. He needs to reveal the information, because it is the truth, and if learned later would likely severely harm his position. Any communicable disease, HIV, TB, etc should be disclosed. It should be done through an attorney, however, to insure that his case is fairly and completely and accurately presented to the the court.
