Can you sue someone for disclosure your hiv status without your consent?

Maybe. Obviously, this is a very complex question, because on the one hand you have a right to privacy, but on the other HIV is considered a matter of public health concern. If what they disclosed was true, then it isn't libel or slander. Depending on the jurisdiction, it might be intentional infliction of emotional distress. Not every jurisdiction recognizes the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress though, and the requirement of mens rea, usually "malice aforethought," is quite high. It is also possible that there was a right to privacy violation, but because HIV could be considered a matter of public concern, it isn't clear that you would win a privacy violation case. For these reasons, it is impossible to give a definitive answer to your question. You ought to consider consulting a lawyer in your area who can give you better answers about how your state treats privacy violations and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
