[Poll] Hiv, how to deal with it?
July 22, 2006 - 04:32 PM

There was a young man who worked in a simple factory.He had the chance to travel abroad for work, so he immidiatly started applying for the necessary documents to get the visa. He was asked to go to a hospital for a blood test he didn't even know what was it exactly about. Two days later, he recieved a letter saying that he can't get the visa for the country where he wanted to go, for he carries HIV, and that country dosn't recieve people who carry that virus. So he lost the chance he always dreamed to acchieve. And when his boss in the factory knew about it, he kicked him out saying that he didn't want troubles with the rest of the workers.
My brothers and sisters, this is a real story that i lately knew about. So what do you think we can do as tig members for people who have the same situation?

Hi Ibrahim,

This story is horrifying. Did this happen in Morocco? In many countries with labour protection laws such as EU countries, I know that the employer would not be able to take away the job of this person just because of an illness. In fact, the employer would not be allowed to know the medical records of this person.

Maybe now the person can get antiretroviral treatment? There is a one good outcome if treatment is provided!
