HIV & Working

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have trouble working or finding a job now that you are HIV positive? Is there any job that we cannot work at due to our status?

I know for me, I'm looking for a job right now but need to stay close to a bathroom, which makes it difficult sometimes, plus I have days I dont feel well.

Thanks for answering and have a blessed day!

I’m glad I’m able to work a full time job. But my dream is to go into nursing. With my status, I wonder what am I limited to.

DRS. Have you thought of working from home? Look into VIPkids. You can teach children English from China and other countries. Just need a bachelor degree. Also look into ratracerebellion.com. They list plenty of home based jobs. Good luck to everyone.

I work in an elementary school. I’m not limited to anything but what I do struggle with is the amount of stress my job has. I’ve noticed that it has become increasingly difficult to concentrate and focus under all the pressure. I wonder if it’s a side effect of the medication or hiv itself.
