Do I have to disclose in the job application process that I am HIV positive?

No, it is unlawful to discriminate against people with the HIV virus. The definition of disability in the Act includes the presence of organisms in the body capable of causing illness.

The Act does have a risk of harm exception which could be relevant depending on the duties of the job. For more information on this exception see Risk of harm.
