HIV tests will no longer be required for educators
AIDS and HIV tests have been removed from the draft list of health standards for teaching candidates in Guangdong province.
"That indicates that AIDS patients and HIV carriers will be able to become teachers when they pass qualification examinations for teachers in Guangdong starting in September, when the new standards come into effect," according to the revised draft of health standards published on Monday.
Currently, the province bars HIV carriers and AIDS patients from teaching positions.
