What is the british army policy on soldiers with HIV?
HM Forces does not yet 'blanket' screen people from the UK for HIV status. The Army has made it a policy of offering voluntary HIV, Hepatitis & syphilis investigation to those commonwealth recuits who are joining from African nations & areas that are know to be endemic with HIV infection. However, this is by no way compulsory. I personally, as an Australian Commonwealth recruit in 2004, was never offered a HIV test. I would agree with the original poster.... HM Forces would benefit in re-thinking this policy in regards to it's recruitment of ALL personnel into the Forces.
