Flight Attendant is HIV Positive

Steven Slater, the Jet Blue flight attendant who exited the plane down the emergency chute at JFK after using the airplane's PA system to tell a rude passenger exactly what he thought, says that he is HIV positive.

I am not homophobic, and the job of flight attendant seems like one that might suit a young gay man. But after spending a long career in food processing, I do admit to some concern that someone who is HIV positive is engaged in serving food and drinks.

It is highly improper and illegal for someone who is HIV positive to have sex without first telling their sexual partner about their affliction. Dentists now routinely wear masks and have on surgical gloves to protect against transmission of HIV.

Is it not equally reasonable that the customers deserve to be provided with advance warning before someone who is HIV positive prepares and serves their drinks or food?
