POZZIEPINOY'S RESPONSE
Hi.
Thank you for your email.
Regarding your concern, of course you can still work. However, focus on getting your pneumonia treatment first. Once you are are well, then you can focus on going back to work.
For PLHIV's. there is protection against discrimination in the work place. Also, in getting a job, the HIV test is not a requirement for employment here in the country. You can check this out for more information:
I hope I was able to answer your concern. Please feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
