A Complete Simple Overview Related To » Employment Law The Facts

Can you be Refused a Job or a curriculum because you have an STD?
Alright well i have this friend who is attending a program called Job Corps. and hes telling me that they test everyone there for STDs and if they find one then you are not allowed to attend. Now i can understand wanting to keep that out of your living quarters, but isn't it illegal to refuse someone employment on the fact they have a disease? I think that would be a form of discrimination of some kind and if so i would love if someone could show proof that this is in fact against the law if not then I'd love for someone to show me proof that it is in fact legal.
Please and thank you in advance
you are a huge help!
I am a current Job Corps student. They do test you for STDs, but if you have one, they don't send you home for good. If it's something they feel that your home doctor should deal with, they will send you on medical leave but you are welcome back to the program as soon as your doctor gives it an ok.
