Job Advts Demand HIV test report

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

It is illegal to demand for HIV test certificate for normal jobs like engineers,

technicians, operators, computer technicians in India. But now

advertisements are appearing in newspaper which demads such certificate for

Saudi Arabia jobs.

It is like sometime back they used to advertise, only muslims are allowed to

apply for a job. Now that slogan disappeared from these recruitment agency's

Ads. and HIV appeared.

What if the candidate get infected during the selection process? Is it

necessary to collect the HIV status of so many job aspirants? HIV status must be

a private affair for Indians as they face a lot of discrimination in society.

They can screen them after the candidate gets selected for the job.

Is there a clear policy by Govt. of India about Privacy, Discrimination, Job

eligibility etc. for HIV infected? Or again just guidelines ( which can be

twisted, as anyone likes) by NACO is available?

These Saudi agents wanted to tarnish India's image as HIV infested country

by doing such advertisements. The person who reads the job advertisement is made

to believe that every other Indian is HIV infected.

They must stop this.
