就业问题,是一个重大社会问题。而对于青年HIV感染者来说,社会歧视与有关的一些现行法规对于他们就业造成的困境和压力,则更为明显。如在《公务员录用体检通用标准(试行)》中第十八条中规定的“艾滋病,不合格”,以及在教师等职业录用体检规定中的类似规定,从制度上无情的剥夺了感染者平等就业的机会,导致许多亟待就业谋生的青年感染者求职无门,也使得国务院颁发的《艾滋病防治条例》中保障感染者就业权的条款,形同虚设。这种歧视和侵害,不仅侵犯了他们的个人权益,同时也给他们的家庭造成了极大负担,并且剥夺了他们自立自强,回归社会生活,同时也为社会建设做出贡献的人生出路。
本期CAP+《我们的声音》工作通讯,邀请了遭遇了就业歧视的青年感染者,从主体视角来谈谈他们所遭遇的就业困境,以及对此问题的看法和建议。
本期的受访者,都是80后青年才俊,他们都有着自己的理想和抱负,他们曾经是父母眼中的乖乖仔,是老师眼中的好学生,是同学眼中的好榜样。突然有一天,一纸HIV阳性确证报告扭曲了他们的命运,瞬间,他们成了人们眼中的异类,从此他们不得不带着面具生活在这个社会中。
他们有的是即将毕业的学生,正全力以赴准备完成学业加入社会建设者的队列,他们有的是军队的军官,正满腔热忱的准备为这个国家站岗值班。他们有的是太阳底下最光辉的职业教师,却被排斥在人民教师的行列,他们有的是公司白领,正信心百倍的准备在新一轮经济建设大潮中扬帆冲浪……他们本应该在自己的岗位上展示生命的光辉与才能,而在艾滋病歧视的重压下,却不得不放弃本属于他们的那份职业与前程。
疾病没有摧毁他们的身体,他们渴望自己能够像普通人一样去做自己选择并愿意投入的社会职业,为社会贡献自己的青春力量与聪明才智。他们希望能够像常人一样奉养双亲,照看友伴。他们就像渴望着空气和阳光一样渴望着这个世间最可宝贵的东西——公平正义。
他们只是一个病人,并不是罪人,而就业歧视却无时无刻不在销蚀着他们点点滴滴积累起来的就业条件与职业前途。他们个人是渺小的,他们凭着个人力量无法突破阻碍他们就业求职的制度围墙,他们唯一能做的,只是倾述自己面临的困境,发出自己微弱的呐喊。
我们祈盼,无论是大众,还是立法机构、政策制定者,对他们的微弱呼吁,不要再充耳不闻。在感染者的就业难问题上,要全面落实执行国务院制定颁发的《艾滋病防治条例》,尽快撤除与《艾滋病防治条例》自相矛盾,阻碍着青年感染者就业选择的制度障碍,为消除艾滋病的社会歧视,为保障感染者的就业权,营造一个“0歧视”的法治环境。

Protect PLHIV"s Right of Employment, Realize Everyone"s Chinese Dream
The social problem of employment tends to be more serious with regards to young HIV PLHIV (People living with HIV/AIDS), who suffered from social discrimination and existing regulations and laws. The “Standards on Physical Examination for Civil Servant Recruitment” and other similar regulations have been institutionally disfranchising PLHIV"s equal right of employment, blocking many employment opportunities of young PLHIV who are in urgent need, and ignoring relevant requirements in the “Regulations on the Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS”, issued by the State Council. This discrimination and ignorance not only violates their human rights, but also deprives their capability and confidence to returning and contributing to the society.
In this issue of magazine, we invited some young PLHIV who had encountered employment discrimination to share their experiences, opinions and advice. Most interviewees are the generation after 80s who were lovely children, students and classmates. In a sudden, a piece of HIV confirmation report turned their lives up and down. As aliens in other people"s eyes, they have to wear their masks.
Some of them are graduating college students who are eager to join in the team of society construction; some are military officers who are prepared to guard the country; some are teachers, the most proud profession under the sunshine; some are white-collar workers who are ready to surf in the new tide of economic construction. They should have been brightening their talent and energy at different positions. However, under the pressure of HIV/AIDS discrimination, they have to give up their jobs and careers.
The disease has not destroyed their bodies. They yearn for what they choose and want like everyone else and contributing their youth and talent. They also yearn for serving parents and helping friends. They yearn for the most valuable stuff in the world—justice, just like yearning for air and sunshine.
They are patients, not criminals. Employment discrimination has been eroding their accumulated employment conditions and professional careers. It is impossible for tiny individuals to break through institutional barriers. The only thing they can do is telling their dilemma and expressing their weak voice.
We hope that the mass, as well as legislation agencies and policy makers, stop being indifferent to their weak voice. On the issue of employment discrimination, comprehensively put the “Regulations on the Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS” into practice, terminate contradictory regulations, and create a law-ruling society of “0 discrimination”.
