Durham nail salon must pay HIV-positive customer after discrimination
The News&Observer ^ | October 29, 2021 | Josh Shaffer

A Durham nail salon discriminated against an HIV-positive customer by denying him pedicures and must pay $7,500 in compensation, according to a settlement with the U.S. government. Tweetie Nails, which does business as Diva Nails on South Roxboro Street, must also adopt and post a non-discrimination policy that includes disabilities such as HIV and AIDS.

All salon staff must be trained about HIV/AIDS and disability discrimination in general, said the June settlement, which the US Department of Justice posted publicly Tuesday.

The question that screams to be asked is why the patron worn a huge read "H" on his forehead..

The disease with its own "rights" is getting to be tiresome.

of course if he vaccine card, it would be ok to deny service.

Some diseases are more equal than others.

It’s a privileged disease. But it’s ok to discriminate against the unvaccinated.

So, let me get this straight.
Deny someone WITH a disease that is dangerous - OK.
Because.

Deny someone without a dangerous disease but also without having a vaccination which perhaps reduces the chances of catching a dangerous disease, or perhaps reducing the effects - that person can be banned.

Liberal “logic” at its best.

Bastille II. A sure cure for problems created by the left.

They can’t “discriminate” against HIV pos people?
So then they can’t discriminate against coof pos unvaxxed.
Hold them to the standard they set.

Again, killing our rights with their rights and using our goodness against us.

Equality run out of control.

You can make me not hurt you but you can’t make me like you. At least that is the way it was once upon a time.

The time is now to burn your own businesses to the ground and tell the government to pound sand.

I’m not a stranger to a mani-pedi, and there have been instances where I’ve been nicked. These salons “sanitize” their equipment, but I don’t know that I’d want to take the chance knowing that a piece of equipment they’re using on me could’ve been exposed to HIV-positive blood. That makes me not want to get another mani-pedi ever again.

It’s not discrimination, it’s being discriminant for the health of your clientele. There’s a difference. Jesus.

But you have to wear a mask to vote in VA, it seems. Do you suppose they could deny me a pedicure, just because I have Covid?

Those with it should have been quarantined long, long ago and prevented from spreading it anymore. No exceptions.

Dr Fauci is, incidentally, part of the reason that they weren’t.

HIV and AIDS are not disabilities. They are diseases brought on by a disgusting behavior.

And I am sick of seeing commercials with gay men; they promote some drug that helps men to reduce their symptoms.

The ads also say that your filthy disease is undetectable.

Awesome! Now it’s time to find a glory hole! *gag*

“Diva Nails denies that it refused the complainant future services, but admits that its manager asked the complainant whether he was HIV-positive, and requested a doctor’s note or other documentation.”

The pink mafia is a protected class.....even though we know HIV kills and who is spreading the virus:

The risk of acquiring HIV is:

35 times higher among people who inject drugs.

34 times higher for transgender women.

26 times higher for sex workers.

25 times higher among gay men and other men who have sex with men.

Imagine if we’d really implemented the same protocols against homos and drug use as has been done with wuhan.

So, let me get this straight. Deny someone WITH a disease that is dangerous - OK.

On the contrary: They (the libs) are saying that you are NOT allowed to deny someone with a dangerous disease (HIV).

HIV and AIDS are not disabilities. They are diseases brought on by a disgusting behavior.

It all depends upon the objective sought by the left. They seem to think they can have their cake and eat it too.

So, HIV/AIDS IS a "disability" for the purposes of discrimination in the job market.

However, The homo-left is trying to eliminate it as a disqualifier for service in the Armed Forces. NOT a "disability" in that regard.
