HIV IRELAND
I have a problem regarding my status. i am not quiet sure if Ireland will not accept me or the hospital institution there will not accept my application as a nurse if i am HIV positive...I am originally from Philippines. can u give me some feedback about this one? I just want to know if it is okay or allow HIV positive nurse to work in Ireland...
To give you an honest answer. Maybe the application asks if you are HIV positive but it does not mean you have to tell them you are. I actually think it goes to show you that our world still attaches a stigma about HIV. Its morally wrong for that to even be a question on an application. It will not prevent transmission from healthcare worker to patient. Its an invasion of privacy. So what I 100 percent firmly believe you should do is ignore that very ignorant, rude and personal question and keep your personal, medical issue to yourself.
