I am glad that he was up front and honest with you about it. You say yourself you are not ready to be in a relationship with anybody even before you found out about that. So I would say don't get involved anybody if you are not ready. You and this guy can still be friends.

If you aren't ready to be with anyone just tell him.
The HIV is an added complication but not if you don't want to date anyway
Good he's being honest though as there is still a lot of stigma attached to HIV/AIDS.

Don't worry yourself too much over it. As many others have mentioned, it was good that he was honest about his situation which shows his character. I'm sure he would never put you in any danger of contracting the illness as he's come clean about off his own accord, but do still be careful. You can still talk to him if you wish to, and if so just know the implications of that- HIV isn't something that will go away very quickly.

It's nice of him to tell you about his condition. Be his friend and be there for him.

@Mplouis, I would greatly appreciate his honesty. In a world of liars and deceptive people it is rare to find people who will be frank with you. HIV, is a very serious disease with meds I heard that many do well. With that being said, honesty is rare and it has to say something about who he is as a person. Much success in your decision.

You must be VERY, VERY careful for several good reasons. That's my BEST advice.
