Question: Can a person work in a healthcare setting as a Doctor or healthcare worker if that person has HIV.?
Why or why not.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Why couldn't they.?

Would having herpes stop them from being doctors.?

Would being diabetic stop them.?

As long as their over all health is good enough that that they are not making mistakes... Like, if a diabetic doesn't take her meds and her hands start to shake she shouldn't be operating on someone... But as long as their condition is under control, why would they not make good doctors.?

I get shingles (which is a form of herpes that usually results from getting chickenpox as a child... Chickenpox are also herpes) and I could POTENTIALLY spread them to people around me but because I am aware of my disease... I take precautions to make sure I don't accidentally spread the shingles.

I can only assume that HIV would be the same thing
