My doctors says it's okay to eat eggs; is he correct?

A few years ago, my dietician put me on a diet that forbade eggs and other high- cholesterol foods. It took a long time for the level of the cholesterol I have in my blood to drop. 
Now my young doctor told me that cutting off eggs totally from my diet is unnecessary. 
That an egg a day does more good than harm. Is he correct? He does seem to know what he is saying.

We had sex, but he's unaware I'm HIV positive

I was diagnosed as HIV positive a couple of years ago and was referred to a teaching hospital. The medication I received is keeping me well, but I get depressed and have withdrawn from friends and go out alone.
Last month, I met someone at a family do and later slept with him for affection.
The problem is, I didn’t tell him I was HIV positive and, stupidly, we didn’t use any contraception.
Now I’m terrified of what he will think or do if I tell him. What should I do?
