This depends on what level you want the relationship and what degree of intimacy (emotional and physical) you want.-
I have a real dilema about it! There is this fear of rejection when you don't know the person very well, and at the same time, when you get to know maybe is too late, because you can hurt their feellings not trusting them.

Yes, this is true. Be real. If this person really cares about you, they will be there for you in the face of your health issues. Being HIV does not and should not define you.
You are a person with feelings, interests and passions (and you are HIV). Yes, scary to tell...but this doesn't define you. I don't think your friend will dismiss you because you are HIV (I've known friends with HIV). Maybe they won't be physically intimate but you can still develop a friendship.
Be yourself.
