BubbaPat:
Hey all,
I'm looking for work and came across a site that I was applying on and it ask to check if I had any "disabilities". HIV/AIDS was listed.
I wasn't sure how to feel about this. Should I say yes or no?
Your thoughts and experiences are greatly appreciated.
Bubba hugs! Patrick

I guess you can know the answer to this best.
In this day and age,HIV has minimal effect on us.
No

When I was applying for jobs (in the USA), they did have HIV/AIDS listed under the disability question. It was also listed with a dozen other items.
Sometimes I would answer Yes and othertimes I would answer No. It would all depend on how much I trusted the company and would use the information for good or bad.
It's all about a tax credit the companies can get if they hire you.
How you answer this is all up to you as I don't see it as a Disability.

I have seen this question on a voluntary disability disclosure form, I opted to skip the form. Employers simply don't need to have this information in my opinion.
