== Absolutely not. Working with an HIV-positive person does not endanger anyone's health, so the choice of whether or not to tell your colleagues that you are HIV-positive is an entirely personal matter. == No. There is currently no requirement that you inform those you work with if you are HIV-positive. Note, however, that the idea that someone who is HIV-positive does not endanger anyone's health is not entirely true. Though someone who is HIV-positive does not normally endanger co-workers, if there is an accident or injury, it is possible that contact with blood or fluids will infect another individual. When rendering aid in emergency situations in the workplace (or elsewhere), precautions must be observed. It would be unwise not to take them. You should take them with regard to others, and if you are injured on the job, you should expect them to be taken with regard to you.

How can you tell if someone is infected with AIDS?

You can't, you can't. Be clear on this; you CANNOT tell. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking there is some kind of "method". Even if you ask and the person answers honestly, you cannot tell. Very few HIV+ people become infected intentionally, so that they know instantly when they should start answering the question "yes". Be cautious and remain safe. You can't do a "re-take" after becoming HIV+. See link to left. First things first: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BECOME INFECTED WITH AIDS. AIDS is simply a syndrome that develops as a result of advanced HIV infection. The only way to tell if someone is infected with HIV is for him, or her, to take an HIV test .. and the only way for you to tell if you are infected with HIV is for you to take an HIV test.
