Beat It! 2002 Episode 4 - Special Report

Domestic workers in South Africa in the past have been tested for HIV without their consent. If these workers tested positive they would often be dismissed.

Many employees were however not so lucky and so the insert goes on to show how the Employment Equity Act protects the rights of HIV positive workers.
