A person is entitled to confidentiality about his or her HIV status. An employee has no obligation to disclose this status to an employer. Some health care workers advise positive employees to remain silent about their condition. Anyone advised of the individual's status is also under an obligation to maintain this as confidential information. Testing for the virus should not be a job requirement or used in job related decisions.
Employers have an obligation to make reasonable job accommodation for an infected employee.
Again, this is covered under human rights. The employee also has an obligation to the employer to recognize when to adjust working conditions, and when to consider disability arrangements. Individuals will have their own experiences, which may involve other issues than those just mentioned. The workplace survey will give fresh insight into these experiences.
