Could this be a DOD story headline soon? HIV Discrimination in the Armed Forces

SANDF accused of HIV Discrimination

South Africa seems to be leading the way big time here.

The SANDF’s old health classification policy excluded people living with HIV from recruitment, external deployment and promotion in the military.

I have been using this as a guide to getting DOD to "wake up" and update our policies...
My own Army being the worse when it comes to blatant discrimination and malicious prosecution of soldiers.

HIV is a virus...it doesn't stop brave men and women from serving and contributing to the protection of the Nation.

The fear, stigma and prejudice against soldiers living with HIV is the real crime.

CHLP Submits Comments and Recommendations for Reform of HIV Policies in the Military | The Center for HIV Law and Policy



"DOD is urged to include a clear and firm statement in the UCMJ that HIV cannot be used to trigger or support a charge for assault or aggravated assault; to rescind all “safe sex” orders limiting sexual activity for servicemembers living with HIV; and to issue universal sexual health guidance to all servicemembers regardless of HIV status."
