Where it is impossible to work with HIV infection

HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome – a disease on the background of low immunity, unable to resist the onslaught of even the most primitive infection. Unfortunately, society still treats people with HIV positive status with wary distrust, and I do not know whether HIV infection to work on a particular production. This significantly reduces the range of professions for the sick and many problems arise when applying for a job. In fact, doctors do not tire of repeating that HIV infected person is not dangerous to others and are officially confirmed only 3 ways of HIV transmission and, with its low concentration of the virus is unlikely to be the source of infection of healthy sustainable human immunity

How is HIV transmitted?

HIV is transmitted:

• sexual way,
• if you use the same needle (this is common among addicts),
• as a result of transfusion of infected blood from a sick host to a healthy,
• in rare cases, HIV from pregnant woman to fetus.

The virus is not transmitted through kissing, handshakes, coughing, saliva, food and beverages with a single dish, a visit to the common areas: baths, saunas, swimming pools, transport.

HIV infection long retains its activity in the environment. This unfavorable conditions and quickly comes death. Even after setting the stuck with a contaminated needle the virus is transmitted is not always. The risk of infection is high, but the low percentage of virus will not lead to infection. As well as through the biological fluid or tears off particles of the blood to infected is impossible.

The law of infected persons there are no restrictions on work. Man at desire has the right to work virtually anywhere where you wish. Unless, of course, for health reasons to cope with their employment obligations. The employee is not a danger to society and does not bear absolutely no threat. In the case of unlawful dismissal the employer can always defend their rights in court. HIV and any work is not limited. Can also choose any workspace, along with all to go to the hospital to work full time or be transferred to lighter work, if required by the condition. Positive citizens can apply for any job, unless of course, this does not contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation, where a clearly defined list of professions to which admission of the sick citizens is only possible in the presence of the sanitary book. In particular, the employer also has the right to dismiss an employee or to deny him the competition only because of HIV infection.

What the law says?

The law identified specific types of professions approved by the Russian government, when it is required to inform her employer of her HIV status, get tested, and honey. inspection when applying for work. Known list of occupations that require periodic inspections by the honey. staff's.

If you experience problems with employment, citizens can sue to the court according to the Constitution, where and to defend their rights. The law (article 17) does not impose special restrictions on ore for HIV-infected individuals who are in your choice. And are not required to disclose their status to employers, as well as those, in turn, have no right to ask if the position is not associated with the blood and allows it to do. The only thing that has to do with HIV positive status is to undergo a medical examination and tests, and only people in those professions, the list was approved by the Moscow government.

Where are unable to work HIV carriers?

A number of professions where it is not allowed to conduct labor activity in HIV-infected narrow. These include:

• doctors, nurses,
• staff transfusion stations and blood collection,
• scientists, whose work is connected directly with manufacture, development of immune preparations.

These people need to undergo annual medical examination for defining HIV status, be tested. Such professions Federal law provides for closed.

For nurses, nannies, police officers, educational institutions, HIV positive status cannot be a cause of denial of employment. With this argumentation of the parties the employer need only remind him about the list of closed professions, clearly and explicitly spelled out in Federal law. By the way, even surgeons to the number of closed professions too are not.

To have a right San. the book should be people whose work is directly connected with products: the cook, the confectioner, sellers, bartenders inpublic catering. Besides officially confirm their status at the initial stage. Yes, the medical book must be selling or producing a grocery item, but it is of course, the direct infection of another person is not. The risks of possible contamination are practically absent.

Despite different explanations about the transmission of the AIDS virus, people are still wary of employees who are directly associated with the products. It should again be noted that HIV / AIDS can work in the field of catering and retail trade, unless it's threatening to their health when working in conditions with rapid changes in temperature, hot smoke-filled workshops.

The myths about teachers

Often parents refuse to keep their children in kindergartens when they find out about HIV positive status of one of the Tutors or of the child. It is obvious that HIV does not live long in the environment, thus there is no danger and threat to healthy people is not. Infection is not transmitted through shaking hands, toys, objects of common use and even saliva. Myth –when a caregiver with a positive HIV status to deny employment.

Another thing, when infection through non-sterile needles when setting the children of a prick, but today such cases are rare. The SES carefully monitor the work of the honey. staff in DOE.

Can occur infection in children with:

• the operation for appendicitis,
• transfusion of infected donor blood,
• breast-feeding from an infected mother.

Still important for adults to understand that children are not infectious and may attend children. gardens, the right not to disclose their HIV status. When communicating the infection is not transmitted. As a kindergarten teacher is not a distributor of the infection and are not contagious to others. HIV is not transmitted through everyday and the infected employee in the employment of the Director of institutions have no right to refuse.

The adoption of a child with HIV in DOE is performed on a common basis. The government of the Russian Federation defines the procedure of teaching children with HIV and with disabilities at home, benefits of the provisions of compensation for costs associated with training. All kinds of discrimination of these people in society are excluded. Often parents are motivated by the fact that children in the nursery bite, naughty, can accidentally injure each other, thereby to be transmitted through the blood. The probability of HIV transmission in such cases is scanty. It is understood that even in case of virus introduction into the wound, HIV transmission is unlikely and such cases have not yet been recorded. Not likely to happen the infection while leaving the particles of blood under the nails when scratching the kids. Theoretically the particles of blood under the nails can get into the mouth of a healthy child, but infection to occur the blood must be directly in the blood. That is why the blood of HIV positive child poses no risk to healthy children. As infected teachers have the right to work in kindergartens or in schools.

People are wary of employees of hospitals, clinics, family homes, offices centers, institutions of blood transfusion, beauty salons. Of course, theoretically possible infection in any of these social spheres.

Annual testing for HIV has to pass:

• donors,
• Junior staff med. staff of specialized health care structures,
• scientist,
• employees of blood transfusion stations,
• specialists of research institutions for the production of immunological material,
• citizens without citizenship and foreign residents living in the territory of the Russian Federation for more than 3 months.

Today, the circle of persons subject to annual testing for HIV, expanded. Should be doctors, nurses, technicians, cleaners, hairdressers, employees of manicure and pedicure salons. At diagnosis of HIV, the patient will be placed on the account. To prevent the spread of the HIV virus in Russia, the legislation clearly States the list of employees subject to mandatory examination. I.e. all those persons who directly deals with blood, biomaterials, drugs with blood.

The law protects the interests of employees with HIV. Maximum compensation in case of accidental contamination in the production also benefits when dealing with the increased contingency of possible infection by the virus.

Are there any restrictions on labor?

The law does not stipulate list of HIV-positive employees who can be fired. The interests of the worker on production, bearing risk, are under the personal protection of the state. The employer may not dismiss an employee on the grounds that the source of infection. Can only offer other jobs where any contact with healthy people will be excluded, as well as risks of infection will be reduced to zero. In addition, when applying for a job, the employer has no right to demand even a certificate of passing the Wii survey. People may not disclose their status. To report it or not, it's personal HIV infected. The law marked the circle of employees who are notmandatory examination for HIV and even at the request of the employer cannot be dismissed in case of accidental revealing of HIV status immunodeficiency. It is simply illegal. All the rights and freedom of citizens are protected by law.

Patients can only be limited in work due to possible infection with infection or transferred to another post, where the route of infection is excluded. About the job vacancy, the employer must notify each employee without exception.

You may request a health book for the circle of persons involved in products or blood, but there's no quitting without any reason it can't be.

There is no reason for the dismissal

In society today the perception of HIV is mixed. Not everyone correctly perceives the legislative wording concerning these patients. Everywhere traceable uncertainty and not a sequence of actions on the part of leadership when confronted with HIV-infected employees. Clearly must be one that cases may not be dismissed only because of their HIV positive status. Of course, provided specimen collection and passing examinations when applying for work, as well as for all working n production as planned annual med. inspection's. It only needs to track the status of the health of the working staff and possible transfer to lighter work in the identification of a particular professional disease.

In almost all cases, HIV status is not a reason for dismissal. The main thing is to work for people was commensurate with the allowable load on production. Today many entrepreneur offers alternative placements for patients with HIV. It remote jobs, freelancers, journalists, programmers. Go re-training and re-training via the Internet is not difficult.

People with a positive HIV status often sick t for a long time for health reasons are on sick leave. It's not like many employers, but even in such cases, the dismissal is illegal. Sick leave will be extended and of course, paid until completing a full treatment course patients. Illegal dismissal of an employee even when you open a sick leave of more than than 3 months. This is not a reason for dismissal. Often, the guide puts an ultimatum: return to work or dismissal. HIV-infected people should know about their rights. In the case of discrimination to go to court, and when receiving disability rely on benefits upon the disability after the passage of the ITU. The resignation is also possible, with the head of the mandatory will be paid severance pay and the average earnings for 2 weeks. In General, everything is as it should be for all healthy people under employment or termination of employment.
