Discrimination against employees based on their HIV or AIDS status is not only unethical but also illegal. Under both federal and state laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), employees are protected from discrimination due to their health conditions, including HIV and AIDS. Unfortunately, many individuals living with HIV or AIDS still face workplace discrimination, ranging from harassment to unfair treatment and wrongful termination.

If you have been subjected to unfair treatment or discrimination due to your HIV status, our experienced attorneys are here to help you protect your rights and seek the compensation you deserve. We understand the challenges of facing discrimination based on a health condition, and we are committed to advocating on your behalf.
What Is AIDS or HIV Status Discrimination?
AIDS or HIV status discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly because they are HIV positive or have been diagnosed with AIDS. This form of discrimination can take various forms, including:
i.strongUnequal Treatment:Being denied employment opportunities, promotions, or raises because of your HIV or AIDS status.
ii.Harassment: Facing derogatory comments, jokes, or other forms of harassment because of your HIV status.
III.Wrongful Termination:Being fired or forced to resign because of your health status, despite being able to perform your job duties.
iv.Lack of Reasonable Accommodation:Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, including HIV or AIDS. Failure to provide these accommodations constitutes discrimination.
Under the ADA, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees based on their HIV or AIDS status, and employees are entitled to the same rights and opportunities as any other worker. If you have faced discrimination due to your HIV or AIDS status, you have legal recourse to seek compensation and job protection.
