Protecting the Rights of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS

Filing an Employment Discrimination Complaint with the EEOC

An applicant or employee who believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of having HIV or AIDS may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days (or in many states 300 days) of when the discrimination occurred.
