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.
