Status is usually positive/negative with past test date and if the virus is undetectable. HIV+ people on antiviral drugs with undetectable levels are perfectly safe, though partners should always protect themselves with PreP and condoms.

This kind of breach of trust is a big deal because if people believe their info is being shared/sold without their consent they are more likely to lie or omit this information and possibly put their partners at risk.
