The Body's Bulletin Boards: Positive and Medical job

I just want to share my experience about my new job in a medical field which is my field of working since I graduated.

I was diagnosed in Dec 2007 and since then I have never thought about applied any job in Medical ever again ( I was a nurse before ...and last job in the Eye Surgery Center) I found the classified Ad looking for a Nursing Director...so I did send my CV in...without thinking that I am HIV + and this might be a discrimination... ...After the interview, they offered me a job...which it made me so worry as I didn't tell them that I am + I was thinking about it all day all night, couldn't sleep as I didn't know what to do...whether they would not accept me, or how could I inform them...then my fiance encourgaed me to fight, ( he is negative...and we have been living together for 14 months now ) he said I shouldn't let HIV discriminate me from this wonderful job. So I decided to inform my future boss that I am a HIV+, and if this could be a "NO" for me to work in the hospital. BUT, they said...It is no problem!!! as long as I protect myself and not expose to any patient.

This changed my life and the way I feel ... I am back to myself again...back to the person before HIV happened. I lost all my confident and lost direction in my life...until I have got this job and proved to myself that there is still a room for us...HIV + people in this world.
So, whoever that still discourage and don't know what to do...Get up on your feet and fight for anything that you think it is not possible. If it can't kill us...it will make us stronger!!!!
