It is better to be truthful in situations of direct inquisition about HIV. It is a protected class under the ADA. Lying is not protected, and you are likely to be dismissed with no recourse.
I told the hospital that I was on methadone, and HIV infected. It did not get in the way of my employment. I told these things during my physical for work, AFTER I had been hired.
They cannot subject you to urine screening and a medical history until you are hired. Don't blow the UA!
Thanks for the info. @A myHIVteam Member❤️🤠
Everyone at work is cool with me having HIV. I'm not sure if it's right but I don't see a problem with it.
I've never had an issue with having HIV at the workplace. They are very by the book when it comes to the law and what they are allowed to do and not do. I downloaded the document anyway. You never know when something could change. Best to be prepared.
