If you're HIV positive, unemployment is the least of your worries. You'll be dead soon. :rolleyes:

Bro Rooney,

What is there to worry? If you are clear, you will get the job. If your are HIV positive, it is better for you not to work.

A HIV carrier should have plenty of rest and keep away from the crowd to avoid being infected with diseases. This way, he can keep himself alive for as long as possible waiting for a cure to be found.

1) if you suspect you have HIV, you should get it tested asap.
2) employment screening don't screen for HIV
3) HIV patients can live for many years, they need to work to support their medical fees
4) employers cannot fire a person for HIV, unless of cos u are a sex worker or something that can cause HIV to spread

My employment checkup at Raffles Medical in CBD did not take blood. Just urine sample, BP check and eyesight test.

But if you do suspect you have HIV, do get a proper test done at SATA. At least then you can avoid spreading it to your loved ones. Do the right thing, brudder!

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

Most pre-employment examination would involved HIV check. I'm sure a lot of employers especially MNC have this criteria. Therefore, I'm not surprised big medical institution like Raffles Medical Group will incorporate HIV test in their pre-employment examination.

There may be a chance due to recession that companies may want to skip the test to save cost. :confused:

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

That is incorrect. A person living with HIV can lead a long and healthy life if he receives early medical treatment. And it's not true that people living with HIV have to stay away from crowds if they are well, they can go to work, play sports, and do alot of things just like regular people.

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

Whether or not pre-employment check consist of HIV test depends on what the company arranged.

If you have ever been exposed to HIV through unprotected sex, its a good idea to get a HIV test to find out your status. That way, you can take steps to receive medical treatment and manage your condition so you can still lead a healthy life. You will also be able to take the correct steps to prevent yourself from passing the disease to everyone else, especially your loved ones.

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

I dunno whether my understanding is correct. A person carrying HIV is just like any other normal person. The only thing is WHEN does the HIV acts up and full blown AIDS occurs. It is at this stage (AIDS) whereby you can't really do anything except waiting for the grim reaper to come and take you.....:(

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

bro..u r on the right frequency...yr understanding is almost all right..they eat like us breathe air same as us n shit on the toilet bowls with us..so u wouldnt know who exactly is carrying that deadly virus..they might be our every day friend/s whom eat with us on the same table or our daily chiong bros who go with us to the ktv or hc..no one knows n i dont think anyone whom have that will come clean n tell u abt it though..1 thing for sure is the game is really over when the virus really start to develop n yr body inmunities cant cope with it anymore than u start developing those symptons..hai..wat to do..juz 2cents back n fro..wan play play it safe else dont regret..

Re: Pre-Employment Examination
 

HIV can be a complicated condition if the person doesn't receive medical care, they will tend to fall sick easily, take longer to recover, and if left like that they can develop AIDS. It's important for people with HIV to get treatment.

On AIDS being the point of no return, its not true either. There are cases of AIDS patients who recover from their infections, and bounce back. It depends a lot on the person's will to live.
