Why should people living with hiv/aids tell their employers about their infection?

My class is having a debate on whether people living with hiv/aids should have to tell their employer or school headmaster/principal etc. I am on the side that says they should have to tell (sides were randomly selected) I am looking for points (personal and factual) to make our argument stronger. Please help.

It is a terrible thing to try and make someone disclose something as private as their health status. Especially when there is really no way to get infected by working with someone. People with HIV are more accountable than you might think about doing the right thing. And really, the only way you can catch it is if you have sex with them. How would you like it if you had to stand up and report to your workplace the most private, sensitive thing that ever happened to you? Close-minded people can be very hurtful to someone like that, who is already dealing with a terrible issue.

I don't think they should. It could make them the victim of prejudice, reveal that they are gay, etc. I've seen enough of corporate America to not want to trust an employer with confidential medical information. Besides, it is not air born, it is only spread through needles and sex, not things that should be happening in the workplace.

Well, when someone is bleeding, it is a sensible precaution to use gloves to clean it up, but if someone has HIV/AIDS, it is way more important, to the person cleaning it up, and those around.
I think information like this however, HAS to be kep 100% confidential, because there is still a stigma attached to AIDS.

Hope i helped, although you probably already got this idea
