Hello everyone, recently I got a job in China, Shanghai one year contract, I know that people living with HIV face discrimination in education and at work. What should my actions be like?聽 I am HIV positive and I鈥檝e been on medication for 2 years already. I have no viral load, The virus has long been undetectable. Will I face problems?

And most importantly, I want to work there for more than 6 months, which means I鈥檒l be needed an Health Check to get residence permit from my emplyer! I cannot find any correct and reliable information about people鈥檚 being on therapy. What should I do? I am really afraid of winding up in jail! I was told by the ANAIDS "You don鈥檛 need to disclosure your status, which means you don鈥檛 need to tell your employer if they don鈥檛 ask." I do not really get this sentence - what does the prhase "don't tell them" mean? I mean they won't ask you they'll be supposed to check you medicine check- up. And they'll see. And another question the medicaments. What is the unsuspicios quantity of them to bring along with me so that no unnecessary and boresome quiestions occur

Hi there,

I'm interested to hear how you are managing with the Quarantine, etc. It doesn't seem to make any sense.

Maybe you have now passed the "quarantine"? Even though this is a non-communicable disease!

Best of luck and keep me posted please!

Lucas.

Hi there. Thanks for the reply. The situation does sound anxiety-provoking. I hope that you heard back from your school or hiring company and they were able to let you start teaching? Or are you still waiting to hear?

Hi, thank you for sharing with us!

Please tell us if you are now working for your company and if everything is fine. I'm in the same process with a big company and about to move next month in Shanghai. I wonder If I should tell the company im hiv+ because in the offer I signed it's mentioned that the offer letter will be ineffective when there is an unqualified health check report...

Hi all, has there been any updates on this? It would be good to find out about the visa-stage part of the process in addition to the in-country stage. Thanks!
