The ´ºË®ÌÃÊÓÆµ recognizes that persons suffering from life threatening communicable illnesses have a right and a responsibility to continue in their regular work or academic pursuits as long as they are capable of carrying out the duties and obligations associated with those pursuits; and recognizes that individuals who contract a life threatening communicable illness, including AIDS, are entitled to continue in their employment or studies provided that the health, safety and well being of others are not endangered.
The ´ºË®ÌÃÊÓÆµ is guided in the application of this policy by current research findings and medical advice relevant to the individual case.
All members of the ´ºË®ÌÃÊÓÆµ community are urged to recognize the responsibility they have for ensuring that those with such illnesses are treated in a caring and supportive manner.
