The Truth Of The Matter As It Applies To » Employment Law Assistance
New law passed: In Australia, anyone diagnosed with HIV automatically is eligible for a disability pension...?
Because HIV has no cure, Australia recognises the disease as a terminal illness that impairs your ability to work and maintain employment. So my question is this:
How does the USA financially support HIV+ people in finding accomodation, medical insurance, access to education and training opportunities? Can HIV+ people apply for ANY government assistance or are they left out in the cold?
In the US..we do have funing for HIV Positives...and for those who have sero-converted to AIDS
Ryan White funding...is avalible for HIV/AIDS infected...it is city/state/and federal funding..for health care and medications
