No confirmation security services wrongfully rejected suspected HIV-positive recruits – AIDS Commission

The Commission said preliminary information available indicates that more than 100,000 applicants went through various medical assessments, during which about 1,300 people tested positive during the initial HIV screening process.

However, the Ghana AIDS Commission explained that an initial HIV screening result does not automatically confirm a person's HIV status.

The Ghana AIDS Commission says it has not received confirmation that any applicant was wrongfully rejected by the security services solely on the basis of their HIV status during the recent recruitment exercise.
