HIV-positive soldiers under the Trump administration | Mic Dispatch

[@Brickjitsu]

You are not ready. You are incapable of fighting infections in the field to a needed level. And you were the kind of soldier i feared working on as a medic.

[@zionandjayla]

Why did you have fear of soldiers who may or may be HIV positive? In the heat of the battle, your job is to treat and evacuate

[@royrogers3133]

Sharon Bosley - if you get blood on you then you get infected. Why the hell wouldn’t he be scared to treat someone who had HIV.

[@nikirki25]

I had a relative who died of HIV that he got during 5-day-war in 2008. He cut his hands on shrapnel while providing aid to a wounded soldier.

you underestimate us. pills mean we are safe, cant spread it and wont get ill from the effects of it. you clearly know nothing about the virus

[@satchelmouth1]

Do all soldiers getting tested on hiv regularly, specially serving overseas? Is this mandatory? Can anybody answer my question? I met USsoldiers in Germany few years ago. They have been sleeping around a lot. Before they get deployed to another country like Japan etc. do they have to get tested on HIV?

[@lifeisshort6396]

Yes all soldiers get tested for HIV reg. they get tested and the results come with in 2 weeks . and if you test positive you not allowed to deploy or perform any exercises that u have close contact with other soldiers . They take that really serious .
