News of an A-list Hollywood actor having HIV has spread around the Internet like wildfire, so now the question becomes: should the actor come clean?

As Enstars previously reported via The Sun, there are new allegations that an A-list actor has contracted HIV. But this actor is keeping quiet about the news.

"The reality is that if he's knowingly put women at risk then that's disgusting and it's only a matter of time before that becomes public," a source reportedly told The Sun.

"It could be a game-changer in the understanding of HIV given that he's a straight man," the source added.

HIV/AIDS has been a worldwide epidemic for decades. A star of such magnitude coming out with the news that they have contracted the disease could indeed make a world of difference in changing the public's perception. But would the actor be willing to risk his own career in the process?

Should the actor rumored to be HIV-positive come forward and make a public statement?
