NO! We should shun those with AIDS, and send them into isolation on a far off Island, then, eventually they will die off, and there will be no more AIDS!!!!!

Why do people even ask questions like this? Are they having sex on your salad and you join in or something?
Geesh..... Yes, they should and yes they can.
In all honesty, the person with HIV (not AIDS) is the person most at risk from things such as shigilosis, e. coli, etc.
People that ask ignorant questions like this propagate fear where there shouldn't be any. If you are TRULY worried about contracting HIV (not AIDS) when you run down to the local Chick-Fillet, then you need some:
A. Counseling.
B. More information.
Few bits of information....
People get HIV. Once there immune system is weakened to a point they are considered to have AIDS - which is not a disease but a condition. The disease is HIV so you CAN'T catch AIDS.
Secondly, you should be more concerned that someone washes their hands before cooking for you than if they have HIV. The stuff you can get from an unsanitary person is dangerous enough.
Thirdly, if a food preparation business wants to STAY in business then they must follow rules and regulations that keep them sanitary and clean. Else, they will be closed down.
Lastly, a person with HIV is more scared of you cooking their food if you aren't sanitary then you should be of them...

Yes! Most food service companies require a food handler's license and are inspected by the local health department. As long as safe food handling procedures are followed there is no reason to not hire them. I suspect that the person with AIDS would be more at risk from catching something from working in a food service industry than the other way around.

Actually people should be allowed with AIDS to work in food service as long as the appropriate precautions are taken.Remember aids could be passed by cuts and blood and bodily fluids only by sexual contact. If the person is a chef and cuts herself or himself, the knife should be heated to high boiling water, then the cutting board should be thrown away. Remember the AIDS virus dies with in 30 seconds of touching anything that it can't grow on like metal it dies. So if the appropriate precautions are taken it can minimize and even eliminate the risk.
I think people with AIDS should be given as lng as they follow the rules to minimize the possibility of transmission.

I think "petlover" is right. The AIDS person would be the most at risk, from handling food which is loaded with bacteria prior to cooking or thorough washing. Also, I don;t think a person with HIV infection that developed into AIDS would be strong or healthy enough to have much of a job.

There shouldn't be any reason why not. If the hypothetical person still wants the job with food, then it's that person's choice. The chances of bleeding into the food is highly remote and unless that person is handling knives all day, where's the risk?
Frankly, I think it would be more harmful if a person had the flu.

No, and I'm not afraid of people with AIDS. I think that for the same reason I think people with Hepatitis or any other communicable disease shouldn't be able to. Here in Ca, you have to send a restaurant employee home if they have the flu!

Yes, because AIDS is passed through body fluids- but not sweat though.
