POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email.

I don't want to scare you but you need to know the facts:

1. Usually, the company won't ask you to leave but the Singapore government will definitely have you accosted from your work and be brought to the airport to be deported, without notice.

2. You know for a fact that a foreigner with HIV can't work in Singapore, therefore you have no choice but:

a. Leave the country now

b. Wait until Singapore government officers take you from your work or from your home

and deport you.

Because of this, you really don't have any choice. Act now, if I were you. Pack your things and come home to the Philippines immediately. Some PLHIV's in Singapore have been accosted from their workplace without notice, in front of their officemates, so to avoid this, just come home immediately.

I know you are confused but this is the reality that every advocate hate about the policy in Singapore and in Arab nations. Don't worry once you are here, we can help you. Please call me at 0916-286-2066 when you get back to the country.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
