HIV discrimination and AIDS discrimination are against the law.

HIV Harassment and Hostile Work Environment

The federal and state laws prohibiting treating employees differently with regard to the terms, conditions and privileges of employment based upon HIV and AIDS also make it illegal to subject an employee to harassment because of being an HIV carrier or having contracted AIDS. For example, if you are frequently subjected to offensive comments regarding HIV or AIDS by co-workers or supervisors, it could be considered unlawful harassment or creating a hostile work environment. If you feel you are being harassed because of HIV or AIDS, and need assistance with seeking internal remedies and/or legal remedies if the harassment does not stop, please call the Sass Law Firm to schedule a consultation to learn more about your rights. HIV/AIDS harassment is against the law.
