Direct handling of blood or body fluids should be avoided, and the injured individual should be advised to seek medical attention promptly. Tufts University will condemn as intolerable any emotional or physical abuse inflicted on those known or suspected to have HIV infection, and will take quick and effective action against those responsible for such harassment. The guidelines for faculty and staff, where applicable, are the same as those that pertain to students. As is the current policy, job applicants for Dining Services, Campus Police and Buildings and Grounds will be required to pass a physical examination prior to employment. However, routine questioning or screening for HIV will not be a prerequisite for hiring at Tufts.
Educational videotapes are also available at the above locations and in the library.
