Laws on HIV AIDS
Workers living with HIV/AIDS are often discriminated against by their employers and as a result a number of laws have been put in place to protect them from such practices. ... The bill of rights says everyone has a right to fair labor practices and also that everyone has the right to equal treatment, and there can be no discrimination against a person because they are disabled, old, HIV positive and so on. ... You can not be tested HIV without your consent. The constitution recognizes the right to privacy, only you can decide who should know the results of your HIV test. There are no laws that enforce employers to know your status. The right to labor relations states that no employee shall be dismissed from work because of his/her HIV status. Another of the important rights is the right of access to health care that is there are some workers who are not able to afford medical aid and these should not be refused membership of any medical aid fund on the basis of their HIV status.
