Whether they should or shouldn't, I can't see any way to prevent it. We are already saddled by drug screens, credit checks and (in some cases) FBI background checks prior to employment. God, I can just imagine having to be tested for HIV also. At any rate, I would think the chances of a waiter transmitting this disease to patrons would be almost nil. Unless the government wants to pay all HIV positive people permanent disability -- well, they have to earn a living too.

A drop of saliva does not give you HIV or AIDS. It takes 4 litres of it, or maybe its 2 liters, well anyways it takes tons of saliva to get HIV, and i doubt that would ever happen.
However, it only takes 1 drop of blood. But thats extremely unlikely.
I guess it'd be safer for them not to, but they run that risk at any job, so its not like they shouldnt be able to work anywhere.
Im fine with it.

Why, is that a good job for people with HIV?

As long as they're careful and have no open lesions on their hands, arms, etc., I think it's OK for them to wait tables.
