Chinese Man Sues To Get The Teaching Job He Was Denied For Being HIV-Positive

In a reported first, a Chinese court has agreed to hear a case brought by an unidentified twenty-something man who says he was denied a school teaching job because a medical screening revealed he’s HIV-positive. He passed written tests and interviews. Rather than monetary compensation, he just wants to be hired. In 2006 China installed a federal regulation barring HIV discrimination by employers.
