Should people with AIDS be allowed to work at resturaunts?

hep C is the easiest to catch and pass one. whith hep c unlike the other heps any contact with a person infected is risky. i face this at work and its not nice. its not nice for the person who has it either.

even saliva if the spit while talking poses a real risk. Hep C is by far a very nasty and horrible condition. A very good friend of mine who is a high up in the medical world, says that dying from Hep c is more painful and horid that dying from HIV/AIDS.

I think you don't have your facts straight. Hepatitis C is known as a needle sharing disease, because it is mainly transmitted through direct blood contact. I don't think it is even transmittable through any other means.

If the management knew about the worker's condition, then it would be prudent to take every precaution possible to prevent transmission of any disease. Not that this would even matter, for if a person could show that they contracted a disease from the staff, then they could sue the establishment out of existence, and rightfully so, if the disease were known.

You don't have a right to a job.

I see what you're saying, but let's leave the politics out of it.

Is it really even likely HIV would be transmitted in this fashion?

yeah, i;d heard what plornive said as well, and as far as i know bloodborne transmission is hep C's major route for infection.

Yea bro your right, i've just re-read my post. My bad! i ment to say Hep B!!!!

I'm glad I've been immunized for A and B. People known to have Hep. B should not work in a restaurant. I agree with you there.

Now that we are on this topic...

I have an interesting friend that shits, pisses and jerks off into the pizza sauces at work. He works at a very popular 24 hour mediterranean pizza place next to some clubs. He told me he learned it from some other people that have done it for years.

I would beat him to death if I knew him. That is absolutely repugnant.

What about that dentist several years ago that infected several of his patients?

That dentist was using sterile instruments to pick on his teeth and gums, then using them right away on patients; so there was blood to blood contact.

There is really no chance of contracting HIV from food; it dies right away, is killed in the mouth/stomach. You're much more likely to have to worry about a waiter stabbng a knive through his finger and into you, or some other mishap like that than the food. Hepatitis A, and various colds/bacteria, on the other hand, can be easily spread through food.

Rights fall under the realm of politics, so this is as pertinent as the transmissibility of the virus. The owner has a say in the existence of his establishment.

Lets see restaurants the breeding ground for young kids who party and have sex ( hepatitis) has many gay workers, bi sexual workers, and drug addicts ( hiv), illegal immigrants ( sars) and you can go on and on. Now how exactly does one stop any employee from working? You can't ask the above questions on a application so your kind of fucked. Something personally I don't think about as you can't get aids from a server serving food, you can get hepatitis if a cook has an open wound and wears no protection (gloves) happens often and sars is rare hear but how about the west coast restaurnats who hire employees from these countries.
