If you work in a hospital is there an exception stating if you have HIV/AIDS it must be disclosed

If you work in a hospital is there an exception stating if you have HIV/AIDS it must be disclosed?
If you work in a hospital is there an exception stating if you have HIV/AIDS it must be disclosed? As I understand this does not have to be disclosed by the carrier in the workplace, are there any exceptions to this rule? For instance would a doctor or a nurse need to disclose this condition if they had it, or would they fall under the umbrella of non-disclosure like other jobs?

In general, the medical professionals (those who interact with patients) in a hospital must disclose any potential hazards to the hospitals risk management team, which may set restrictions on procedures or additional precautionary measures. Patients may not necessarily be notified unless the situation creates a significant risk factor over normal operations.
