title: U.S.: HIV-positive prospective employee can sue Foreign Service for discrimination.
abstract: On 27 June 2006, the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling and permitted an HIV positive man to sue the Secretary of State for alleged discrimination in hiring. He was denied a position as a foreign service officer, which required travel and work at overseas posts, because of his HIV status.
