Company Policy

With proper care and treatment, many people living with HIV lead normal, healthy lives, including having a job. Most people living with HIV can continue working at their current jobs or look for a new job in their chosen field.

There is a need for effective strategies in HIV control. However, there is no evidence that making HIV a notifiable disease will contribute to more effective prevention. Making HIV a notifiable disease does not result in more HIV testing and it may even hamper the current proactive testing policy.

HIV can be transmitted during unprotected sex; through sharing injecting equipment; from mother-to-baby during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding; and through contaminated blood transfusions. Using condoms during sex, or taking PrEP consistently will protect you from HIV infection through sex.

In California, AIDS cases have been reportable by name since 1983. HIV cases have been reportable since 2002.

The truth is that it's not nearly that easy to get HIV the medical literature estimates that the transmission rate is actually about 0.1% per sex act, or 10% per year. One way of interpreting these big overestimates of risks is that HIV education is working.

In 21 states, laws require people with HIV who are aware of their status to disclose their status to sex partners, and 12 states require disclosure to needle-sharing partners. The maximum sentence length for violating an HIV-specific statute is also a matter of state law.

A person with a sexually transmissible disease, including HIV, in NSW, is no longer required by law to disclose that they have such a condition prior to sexual intercourse.

The only way to tell. The only way to tell if a person has HIV is through the HIV Antibody Test, which detects the presence of antibodies produced by the body in response to the HIV virus. It can take up to three months for antibodies to be developed.

Several states criminalize one or more behaviors that pose a low or negligible risk for HIV transmission. In 21 states, laws require people with HIV who are aware of their status to disclose their status to sex partners, and 12 states require disclosure to needle-sharing partners.
