HIV+ post in Kerala

August 13th, 2008 · No Comments

This is a quota that is unlikely to be embroiled in a debate about merit dilution and fairness. Kerala became the first Indian state on Tuesday to reserve a government job for HIV positive candidates, marking a new sensitivity for those afflicted with the killer virus.

The Kerala State Aids Control Society (KSACS) announced that it had reserved a vacancy in its office for HIV positive candidates with the hope that the presence of such a person will improve coordination and communication with groups at risk and ensure effective prevention.

Amazingly progressive. Front page news.

I slightly wonder if anyone will be brave enough to even step up an apply for the post…
