HIV positive workers

These has been bordering me and I want to know if there is way to solve these. Many companies offer medical checkups to their newly employed staffs to be sure of their medical status and wellness. There are lots of employees who fall victim of HIV after employment and have resumed work fully, now they  have access to the company facilities and interact with other staffs.

The question is “ Should employees who tested positive of HIV tell their employers about their status” ?

In my opinion, employers deserve the right to know the health conditions of their employees, but such information has to be kept private and confidential between employer & employee... A leak of the info to those without the consent of their owners should be penalized.
 Employees could be encouraged to rest for sometimes and recieve proper treatment if they are suffering or aren't working effectively  as result of their illness, otherwise their jobs shouldn't be affected if they work effectively

In my opinion companies should support their employee with medical problems. HIV is still a very severe illness which can't be cured. And if the companies know about the illnesses of their employees it's much easier to provide the correct surroundings and security measures to protect the customer and Co workers.

This.

If the employees are productive and it doesn't affect their jobs, they should work normally without any interference. But it's the employer's right to know their status.

It is a sensitive case and makes someone who has it shy to admit and even tell somebody that he/she has it.

to be honest this is a tough question to answer...
if I am a business owner then I require my employees to be open about their health because their physical health is very important to support office productivity. For employees who are HIV positive, I apologize for not allowing you to work at my company..
