James White’s lawyers in Michigan call his case “the worst case of HIV discrimination they’ve ever seen.” It’s hard to believe how much James had to endure:

  • When James disclosed his HIV status to his boss at a Great Expressions Dental Center — where James worked as an office assistant — James’ boss told everyone in the office that James had HIV. 
  • For months, James’ coworkers followed him around with cans of Lysol. They sprayed James, refused to let him touch doorknobs, and wiped down furniture after he touched it.
  • James was finally admitted to the hospital to deal with the toll of months of stress from the situation at work — he was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. 
  • On his last night in the hospital, James got a call saying that he was fired.

Please sign Jim Harris’ petition demanding that Great Expressions Dental Centers apologize and pay reparations for the egregious treatment of James White.

fucking shameful

Sign that shit.

Does there need to be like an “HIV spokesman” who goes around educating people how HIV is spread?

(question is rhetorical, the need is apparent, sad as that may be in this age).

Signed and reblogged. This is despicable.
