I have a friend who is also hiv positive...he sank into depression, tapos compounded pa ng medications kaya laging mainit ang ulo...tama dapat sabihin agad..at makakahawa sya ng iba..lalo na sa misis..

They should not have told me. I don't mind working with an hiv positive person. But it is the law here.

that's a strange law.
"tell the employer but not the patient" ?

e, 'di lalong kakalat yan. bad for humanity..
also, effective treatment won't come soon enough. bad for patient.

Diba ang health record should be confidential and private. Anong klaseng company yang iaannounce sa iba pero dun sa may sakit di sasabihin. Doesnt make sense.

Sorry for not giving the complete picture and it led to some misconceptions.

The country is Saudi Arabia. By law no one is allowed if one is hiv positive or hepa A carrier.

He underwent a medical exam last month. He was retested again after, and then a 3rd time last week. Aĺl results were positive.

Besides HR, only our rig manager, oim and myself had been told. We were told because we are his immediate supervisors. We (us 3) were told not to tell him. We are not supposed to be told as this involves medical confidentiality BUT it affects our operation. Still i told them they should not have told me.

He will be informed at the office by the HR health officer. As to company medical insurance i am not sure if it covers hiv. I hope it does and he gets help.

Hiv takes 6 months to 2 years from date of infection before it can be detected by any test. His wife may have it already. Sad talaga.

Poor guy.
Tapos na ang careers sa rig. Unemployable na.
Malamang away din sila ng pamilya nya. Obviously may infidelity na naganap.

It means your staff is bi***ual. There's little chance of transmission through vaginal intercourse e. Unless he likes doing anal with females. Pero usually it's the bottoms that get infected diba.

Kahalayan niya pati asawa niya nadamay pa. Wow.
