In a nursing home should you as asst be told are working with person HIV?

As an assistant in a nursing home, you have the right to know if you are working with a person who is HIV-positive. This information is important for your safety and the safety of the person you are caring for.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects people with disabilities, including HIV, from discrimination. This means that you cannot be fired or denied a job because you are HIV-positive. It also means that you have the right to reasonable accommodations, such as being able to wear gloves or a mask when you are working with a person who is HIV-positive.

If you are told that you are working with a person who is HIV-positive, there are a few things you should do. First, educate yourself about HIV. There are many resources available online and from your local health department. Second, talk to your supervisor about what precautions you should take to protect yourself and the person you are caring for. Third, follow all of the safety precautions that you are given.

By following these steps, you can help to ensure your safety and the safety of the person you are caring for.
