Should people with AIDS be allowed to work at resturaunts?

Lurking.

Just keeping tabs on you!

That's a risk i'm more willing to take

I see. So to put the fearful, ignorant minds of the masses at ease, you're content to deprive someone of his or her livlihood?

I'd do some reading up boys before you start depriving others of whom you are scared of a basic right.

There's probably a really low chance of transmission...there would have to be blood contact because saliva alone won't do it. And once HIV is exposed to the air it dies within a few seconds. So I think the person with HIV/AIDS would have to have cut themselves enough to bleed, bleed onto the food, and then have you eat the food really fast, and even then you'd need to have a cut in your mouth, and the blood would have to touch it. Even if you swallowed the blood, if u didn't have a cut, I think the chance of infection would be super low.

Of course, if the person with HIV/AIDS is like Frackal and jerks off at work, well, then you have a real problem.

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

Didn't hear about that. How did it happen? BTW, that's way different from being a waiter - a dentist is making the cuts in your mouth, totally exposing you to infections of all sorts.

To me it's not a question about bleeding heart liberalism or staunch conservatism.

I'm curious how contagious HIV is if someone chews a sandwhich with a little bit of blood on it. And how often do people cut themselves in restaurant kitchens. In my experience (2 years as restaurant cook), there's no problem.

AIDS sufferers should not work in restaurants. HIV, I'm not sure. I need some data.

I was being facetious GT. Fact is, there are plenty of people who we come in contact with every day who are HIV but it doesn't bother us because we don't know about it.

Whether the person is HIV or not, proper precautions need to be taken for handling food......as long as those precautions are taken, then there is no risk of HIV or any other bacteria, infection, disease etc of causing any problems.

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.

This happened about 8-10 years ago. I know it's different but since that happened then it's possible a waiter or a cook could transmit HIV/AIDS.

Of course how could you possibly know if a worker is infected but with the laws the way they are, I'm sure they have rights to protect them.

Sorry VG. Thought you were just being a dickhead.
