Probably not. There are local, state and national laws on AIDS and HIV and jobs. Some laws cover everyone who has AIDS or HIV. Some laws only cover people who are sick, and some laws only cover some kinds of sicknesses. Some laws cover all jobs, some laws only cover some jobs.

How can I find out for sure if I can be fired or denied a job?
First, ask the organization that gave you this pamphlet. They may know. More likely, they might be able to find someone who can tell you. If not, look in the phone book under "AIDS" or search the Internet for "AIDS legal" to see if you can find an agency that can tell you. Or you can call the ACLU AIDS Project in New York at 212-549-2627. The folks there will try to find out for you.

Why are only some jobs covered by the law?
The national law on AIDS only applies to businesses with more than 14 workers. Many of the state and local laws cover smaller businesses.
