New Workplace Protections for Positive People Worldwide

A new set of principles to protect the rights of HIV-positive workers around the world was adopted at this year’s annual conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO), an agency of the United Nations, according to an ILO statement. The core principles include: no discrimination or stigmatization in the workplace; protection of HIV-positive workers; no mandates to take an HIV test or reveal status; and availability of HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
