Does my employer need to know that I live with HIV/AIDS?

In general, an employer should know about an employee's illness. However, this does not apply in the case of a person living with HIV, as it is not only contrary to human dignity to inform about his or her illness, but also violates his or her right to privacy. In fact, it is prohibited to require an HIV/AIDS test in order to enter or remain in an employment activity. (Article 35 of the Decree 1543 of 1997, Judgment SU-256/96, T-826/99, T-1218/05, T-1219/05, T-992/07, T-295/08, T-898/10, T-447/13)
