What is the French movie about HIV/AIDS in the 1980's?
I searched Netflix foreign documentaries and dramas, but I do not know the title! It is in French, I think, or about France, and it is about HIV/AIDS in the 1980's, I think?

Probably Les Temoins, aka "The Witnesses" (2007).

What are your plans and contributions towards eradication of HIV/AIDS which is posing big threat o humanity

What are your plans and contributions towards eradication of HIV/AIDS which is posing big threat o humanity?
The dreaded disease - HIV/AIDS is claiming millions of live wordwide and no medical treatment/cure has so far been established. Creating awarenes on how best to avoid/reduce the spread is very key as most poeple are ignorance on how best to handle the situation. Yahoo is one of the best (if not the best) e-mail service provider in the world. I pesonally suggest that a colum be created on their home page that will alert/educate users / the world at large on how to minimize the spread of this dreaded disease. All hands must be on deck to bring this stuborn sickness to naught.

there is an answer inside ur question .... there nothin a common man can do to eradicate the problem of aids at individual level but yes small steps towards eradication of aids can atleast motivate others to think abt the seriousness of the sub ............. it is the duty of each individual to atleast present ur views to others be open n frank to talk with ur parents, frnds, teacher...... rather than considering a taboo topic to be talked abt........... we know that we all have to be together to fight frm this evil 2ly we shd not consider hiv positive as neglected part of the society coz it can happen to anyone in the society......

There is an established treatment called HARRT. It is a cocktail of drugs that contain a slew of anti retro viral medicine and inhibitors. This drug works great in lowering the viral load of HIV and raises the CD4 TCells that HIV attack and kill. However, the treatment cannot rid you of the virus, you will still need to take treatment and suffer the nasty side effects of the drugs. You can live just as long as normal if treated early and live a healthy lifestyle, in most cases. One out of 100 white people have a natural partial immunity to the HIV virus. They become infected but the virus does not damage there immune system and they do not need treatment with HARRT. They can still infect people but never get sick or die due to a HIV related disease. The virus is optimized to spread itself. Not to worry but their will be a cure in the next 10 years or so.

Should a person with HIV/AIDS be required to disclose it to their employer

Should a person with HIV/AIDS be required to disclose it to their employer?
I'm writing a paper for my English class, and I was wondering what everyone's opinion of this is. I personally don't think so unless they are working in a job that would put them at risk to other people. Just curious as to what everyone else thinks. Thanks.

Not unless they have a risk for infecting others: such as health care workers, emergency services (police, fire, ems), and the military. There are probably more but I can't think of any at the moment. There was a case recently that you could look up, of Hepatitis C (also blood borne infection) outbreak due to a worker at a hospital with it infecting others with a dirty needle. Look up Swedish Hospital Colorado Hepatitis C, that should give you some more details about it.

yea thats personal information, only an employer would come up with that question. he probably dosnt want it to affect any of his good workers. so if he knows he can be proactive by looking for other qualfied prospects.
3 :
Normally, no. I'd say its no ones business. Let me ask you though, how would you feel if a doctor operating on you, or an EMT taking care of you was HIV positive? One little slip up on their part and you could come into contact with their bodily fluids... Person's occupations that may put them into contact with others' bodily fluids, they should be required to disclose that information to their employers. This is my opinion of course.
4 :
I don't think they should have to disclose details like infection with HIV/Aids unless their job entails close personal contact with other people. Anything where their blood could come into contact ...like dentistry for example. A job with ordinary social contact with others should not need to know details like that!
5 :
No. It is personal. However, if they are in a situation or job where they may infect others, they should be responsible and wear protective equipment (i.e. gloves, etc.)
