The medical criterion for recruitment is fitness to work in the particular post. The United Nations HIV/AIDS Personnel Policy clearly stipulates that no staff and/or potential candidates shall be discriminated against on the basis of real or perceived HIV status. HIV infection, in itself, does not constitute lack of fitness to work. There is no obligation to disclose HIV-related personal information.

UNAIDS is committed to providing a work environment that respects the inherent dignity of all persons. UNAIDS has a responsibility to take all appropriate steps to prevent and respond to discrimination, abuse of authority, and harassment, including sexual harassment in the workplace or in connection with work. UNAIDS has zero tolerance towards abusive conduct.
UNAIDS is committed to providing equity of access to employment, advancement and retention in UNAIDS, recognizing that it is in the interest of UNAIDS to recruit and maintain a diverse and skilled workforce that is representative of the diverse nature of society, which includes persons with disabilities. It is therefore the policy of UNAIDS to actively promote equity of access to employment opportunities within UNAIDS for persons with disabilities.

UNAIDS undertakes to provide reasonable accommodation necessary to enable a person with a disability to access employment opportunities, enter into and remain in employment within UNAIDS. The principle of reasonable accommodation applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, selection and appointment.
