Prejudice
and ignorance in society have caused some of us to keep our HIV
status a secret. Others of us challenge these attitudes and are
open about our HIV status. The decision to disclose, or to tell
people your HIV status, is highly personal and it is wise to
weigh the potential benefits and risks of disclosing.
Disclosing could affect your work environment and your
relationships with co-workers, but it is a necessary condition
of receiving legal protection.
Always
remember that there are federal and state laws
that prohibit employment discrimination against people
with disabilities, including HIV and AIDS.
