so can employers for instance ask about HIV status and discriminate based on that?
- majormajor 5y agoSome googling suggests this is already done for pornography.
- dragonwriter 5y agoOnly if HIV status has a significant relevance to your ability to perform your job duties (including things like the safety of other workers, the public, etc., when your work.) Of course, unless your job involves something unusual like having sex with your coworkers or the public, that's not all that likely.
- ffggvv 5y agoa lot of jobs like machinists often get cuts on the job that expose your blood
- dragonwriter 5y ago> a lot of jobs like machinists often get cuts on the job that expose your blood And how many instances of person-to-person HIV transmissions have been caused by that kind of occupational exposure?
- BHSPitMonkey 5y agoIs that something you've seen happening? Seems far-fetched to me, since you can't contract HIV simply by doing office work in the same room with HIV-positive co-workers.
- ffggvv 5y agoyes, for machinists if they get a cut and have hiv all work needs to stop and the area needs to be sanitized
