From CNNChina awaits a verdict in a precedent-setting discrimination case, with an HIV-positive man suing over being rejected for a teaching job, state media said.
"I know my case may take a relatively long time, since it is believed to be the first case in China about discrimination against HIV carriers in the job market. But I will try to remain positive about my chance of winning," the job applicant said, according to China Daily.
He goes by the alias Xiao Wu to protect his identity in a country where HIV discrimination is widespread. The case making its way to court is notable, because China's legal system tends to avoid sensitive suits.
