    HIV and AIDS are not equally the same.
    HIV is a virus disabling the immune system
    AIDS is a later result. I am not sure when or how it progresses from one to the other.

    I would think the only ones that need to know if someone is HIV positive are people that they might share a needle or have sex with.
    **If you work in the food industry or health care or something along those lines the boss should possibly know.
    I don't think you should tell anybody.

    ***I just looked it up


    My food service job has a list of communicable diseases that if you have you can not work there.
    Maybe see if there is such a list for COTA before you do anything else.
