Résumé
HIV serostatus disclosure to sexual partner may lead to clear public health benefits (motivation for partner testing, behavior changes, earlier access to medical care), but it may also lead to women rejection, loss of economic support, physical and emotional abuse. Studies from developing countries suggest that a larger proportion of women compared to industrialized countries do not share HIV test result with anyone
