Before they become sexually involved, Bill is planning to tell his new girlfriend that he contracted an STI in a previous relationship. What are the risks and benefits of his self-disclosure?
What will be an ideal response?
Bill's own self-disclosure increases the chance that his new girlfriend will also share personal information with him. But by being open with his girlfriend about his condition, he risks rejection, judgment, or alienation. However, if he does not tell her, the two of them will not be able to achieve intimacy. Furthermore, if she later learns that Bill was not honest with her, she may feel betrayed.
