AITAH for telling my roommates booty call she has HIV?
A person recently learned that their roommate, Lisa, had invited a date over, shortly after Lisa disclosed that she had tested positive for HIV.
The narrator attempted to convince Lisa not to meet with the date, especially since Lisa admitted she had not informed the man about her diagnosis and refused to do so.
While Lisa was showering, the narrator pulled the date aside and informed him of Lisa's HIV status. The date remained calm, shared dinner and watched movies with Lisa, but the next morning, Lisa became very angry at the narrator for interfering.
Now, the narrator is feeling guilty about the situation and questions whether their actions were wrong.

The original poster (OP) is currently experiencing guilt after intervening in their roommate's dating life to disclose sensitive health information that the roommate intended to withhold.
The central conflict lies between the OP's belief in the ethical obligation to inform others of potential health risks and the roommate's expectation of privacy regarding her personal health status and right to manage her own disclosure timeline.
The debate centers on whether the OP was justified in overriding the roommate's autonomy to protect a third party from potential harm, or if this disclosure was an extreme v***ation of trust and privacy within a shared living situation. Was the disclosure a necessary act of protection or an unwarranted interference?
