Working and Returning to Work after an HIV Positive Diagnosis

Abstract

This program will present a broad overview of HIV as a disability under the ADA, with a specific emphasis on persons with HIV who are currently working or considering returning to work after an HIV disability leave of absence. Included in the program will be information about how an HIV positive person can protect their rights in an employment setting, as well as information about insurance, HIV testing, confidentiality, and the FMLA. The program information will range from very basic information to more advanced material for those that have been working in the area for many years.

The complete ILRU Web site was developed with support from grants from the Department of Education. However, its contents and the opinions expressed do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and no endorsement by the Department should be assumed. ILRU is a program of TIRR (The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research), a nationally recognized medical rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities.
