If a patient with HIV infection is experiencing trouble at work because of the condition (e.g., problems with stamina, increased need to use the restroom, difficulty seeing, or impaired concentration), he or she may be entitled to a "reasonable accommodations" from the employer that will help to solve the problem under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Patients who request a reasonable accommodation may be asked for supporting documentation from a health provider. patient can get any kind of reasonable accommodation needed because of HIV infection, the side effects of HIV medication, or another medical condition that has developed because of HIV, unless the accommodation involves significant difficulty or expense. Common reasonable accommodations include altered break and work schedules (e.g., frequent breaks to rest or use the restroom or a change in schedule to accommodate medical appointments), changes in supervisory methods (e.g., written instructions from a supervisor who usually does not provide them), accommodations for visual impairments (e.g., magnifiers, screen reading software, and qualified readers), ergonomic office furniture, unpaid leave for treatment or recuperation, and permission to work from home. If a patient has been working successfully in a job but can no longer do so because of a disability, the ADA also may require reassignment to a vacant position that the patient can perform. These are just examples; employees are free to request, and employers are free to suggest, other modifications or changes. If more than one accommodation would work, the employer may choose which one to provide.
