Abstract: My case can be described as being in the right place at the right time. I was looking for a job and saw an advertisement, which stated at the bottom: “HIV-positive people are encouraged to apply.” I had applied for employment in the private sector previously and I had been made to undergo HIV testing without my consent, under the excuse that blood counts were necessary for ‘medical examinations’ which would determine whether one qualifies for a job or not.
