The Antisida Committee of Valencia and Calcsicova began in 2013 to pursue people with AIDS not to be excluded from the body.In the process for reform, it has had the support of the Department of Universal Health and Public Health and with the Department of Vice Presidency, Equality and Inclusive Policies.
The Committee has assured that it was "a discriminatory measure, without scientific basis, since the exercise of this profession and any other does not imply any risk of HIV transmission."In addition, he added: "The modification of this decree is an important step for the eradication of discrimination of people with HIV in the workplace."
The decree has been reformed so that interim with systemic immunological diseases can consolidate their place in the body of the municipal police, provided they have no symptoms that prevent them from exercising their work.This is just what they ask the national authorities, that the exclusion of state security forces is carried out by the state of health, and not by the diagnosis of the disease.
The restrictions for people with systemic immunological diseases not to enter the army, the police and the civil guard, the public bodies that restrict access to people with certain diseases, were initially due to the possible transmission and subsequently based on the fact that"They couldn't perform" their work.
The Ministry of Health said in the National Plan on AIDS that the total number of HIV affected, 90% are being treated and within this percentage, 90% have a "undetectable" viral load.Thus "only those people who do not comply or do not respond to antiretroviral treatment, or who present certain comorbidities, can present a loss of functionality and work disability as a consequence of their clinical status," he concluded.
Diabetes was another disease that previously made it impossible for people who suffered from entering bodies such as police or firefighters.The Spanish Diabetes Federation (Fede) has assured that they will not settle for the Valencian Community but also want to cease to be excluded nationally and in any administrative field.
