This article talks about discrimination involving a person's HIV status & an academic scholarship. This piece may be about Namibia & China, but the implications are the same everywhere. People will discriminate against anything, especially illness.
I know full well it's present in my area. If I had to get a job in this area. The second they discovered I was +, they'd find a way to get rid of me. I wouldn't be able to get insurance. I wouldn't even tell a place I was trying to rent from I was +. What, you say, isn't this illegal in the USA? Yes, it is, but try proving it.
There isn't much more to say on the matter. Unfortunately the prejudice is there & some people will always act on it.
Cya...
