An HIV-positive Chinese man rejected for a teaching job because of his status is planning to appeal after losing a discrimination case, CNN reports. Judges ruled the man, under the alias of Xiao Wu to protect his identity, did not meet the Teachers Law, which requires applicants to meet physical and mental qualifications.
