Work And HIV
A myHIVteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

For those of you who still go to work, what is the biggest obstacle that you have at work being HIV positive?

I own a guaranteed issue life insurance agency and have not had any issue with work.
The issue I have is getting people living with HIV-AIDS to understand the importance of having coverage to bring finsncial.peace of mind to family and love ones.

Thankfully I have no issues at work related to HIV but nobody knows there anyway. I make my appointments out of work so no one need ever know.

@A myHIVteam Member did you know you can file a disability accommodation request for doctor appointments?

I've been with my company 18 years. I've accumulated 4 weeks vaca, 56 hours sick time and 2 personal days. My direct supervisor is aware of my status. So no issues with illness or time away for appointments. Our office has moved to a work from home environment (March 2020) with no plans to return to the office, so there isn't really any issues at all. I feel fortunate to work for a person that is so understanding. Did I mention she's my work-wife also?? 😁😁😁

Hmm, nobody knows, for my country we're not obligated to disclose thus no obstacle :)
