- First my understanding is it is almost impossible to catch AIDS from
- an HIV positive food preparer. But regardless, to say someone can
- not work in a certain area because they are in a high risk group, when
- they probably do not have AIDS, strikes me illegal and immoral.
- Now if companies wanted to test all employees for AIDS, I wouldn't
- object.

-
- I can see thier point, since so many people want to restrict their
- employment based on what could be rather than fact.
