Who should know that a member of staff is HIV positive?
The fact that someone is HIV positive is an extremely private and confidential matter which should, under no circumstances, be divulged without the explicit agreement of the person in question or on the basis of a court injunction. This basic principle is laid down in the Data Protection Act, the Cicil code and the Code of Obligations. Anyone contravening this commits a breach of both Privacy Rights and Data Protection Act and is liable to prosecution.
