First of all I am HIV NEGATIVE. I have the papers, got tested last week, My papers regarding My HIV stats are required so I am able to do some amateur cage fighting (LOL @ myself as an 40 hr q week LVN NOC Shifter who does amateur cage fighting q 3 - 4 months)
Please understand that I only worked LVN for 1 year and still learning my nursing skills and I have limited knowlegde regarding HIV/AIDS though I read my nursing text books on that topic
Here is my Fake Scenario. Hypothetical Q
There is a nurse who works at a hospital. She is a "sex addict" and goes around comes around during her day/night off's. Going to bars/clubs and if the flirtatious conversation goes well, she goes and sleeps with some random guy. Although her sex partners uses condom, she still gets unlucky and gets infected. Then out of the blue she decides to get HIV test get her blood drawn. The test results becomes positive...
As a health care provider, A nurse who gets recently dx with HIV+, does she lose her nursing license? Is a HIV+ nurse putting patient a small risk of getting infected by accidental needle sticks or accidental coughing blood droplets (if HIV opportunistic disease worsens) Or AIDS dementia sets in
I just got the idea since and forgive me that I am a guy who gets surrounded by estrogen filled CNA's and Nurses and working with pretty female nurses and I cant help my male brain to think "what if she acts like a good girl nurse during on duty, but off duty shes actually a nympho/a cheating wife?":lol2:
This is a prime example of why LPN's are looked down upon.... educational resourses are available, online, bookstores, libraries, etc.. This post is offensive in regards to your hypothetical theory about woman in the workplace.
So LPN's are looked down upon because of a misogynist jerk?

Oh I see, this doesn't really have anything to do with HIV. It's actually about creepy, inappropriate sexual fantasies about the women you work with. Framing it as a discussion about HIV+ nurses is really just an excuse to air immature and unprofessional ideas about women, and perpetuate some awesome female/nursing role stereotypes in the process. The sweet nurse with the slutty side. Lovely.

Totally. Plus in the OP's hypothetical situation, the person acquires HIV by "going to bars/clubs and if the flirtatious conversation goes well, she goes and sleeps with some random guy." Totally stereotypical.
I've gotta say, this thread just moved closer to the #1 spot on my "most ridiculous threads I've ever read on AN" list.
If for some reason it becomes known, don't bet the ranch they wouldn't be fired, especially in at will states.
Whoever does that firing better have some really solid documentation about reasons other than HIV staus, and be sure that the party being fired doesn't have any documentation of discriminatory statements or actions. Otherwise, they're setting up themselves and the facility for the mother of all lawsuits. Neither the sex of the nurse nor the nurse's personal life change the legal circumstances in any way.

How are ANY of those details relevant to your question?

Again....how does this have anything to do with your question about losing licensure due to HIV status?

I totally agree I think the person is creepy and a cage fighter and a nurse ?
Whatever...... however I would like to know where he works where he has time to think any inappropriate thoughts about any female coworkers most places are too darn busy but he does write strange kind of he is writing a letter to Penthouse forum or something and he seems to think by his writing that nurses are slutty or he thinks some are.. what creepy behavior.... I think he just posted it to be a troll....

LOL! Hilarious, I get that vibe too.
At any rate: inflammatory, uneducated, off-topic (if we're going with the ostensible topic of HIV) = the trifecta of bad posts
