this has come as a concern that employers continue to use HIV as a precondition for hiring staff in the military,the police,banks and some families test their maids,churches are also discriminating HIV-positive people demanding for screening before wedding couples.is this really right?

Yes. There are positions that you would not want someone with HIV/AIDS in for health reasons.

i don't think it.. it is humiliating for them... i mean to go to some crountries (the USA, Russia, China...) for visa purpose you have to give a HIV test... it's unfair... but i understand that some people are afraid about having a doctor with this desease... so i don't know... but i know that saying yes to this answer without any distinction show the stupidity of the guys

I believe this is an act of discrimination. It would be the same as if you would discrimate against a person who has handicaps or a race or religion. I don't think this is a right to do so. It's disgusting.

well then all forms of discrimination are human rights issues..which basically i feel they are. it matters not if its health, race, sex or any other matter... it's still discrimination so why single HIV/AIDS out alone? Just a side note here... many countries force couples to have blood test for many things (not just HIV) before they marry as their are recessive gene disorders and countries screen in order to prevent a possible future burden on the health system. If they found someone had cancer they wouldn't let them in the country either. It's all down to dollars and biggitory I'm sad to say. Many people don't seem to care until it's in their own house I'm afraid at least that's how I see it.
