Since you can't spread the HIV through casual contact, I would think that the only employers who have a right to know would be ones where the sharing of bodily fluids to others may be possible, such as medical, police or fire-fighting jobs. Otherwise, employers demanding to know things like that are committing a serious invasion of privacy.

Most jobs today require a pre-employment physical administered by a clinic/doctor and it includes thorough blood testing. They will find out--even if you don't tell them. Blood borne diseases can be a real problem in some work professions where injuries are likely to occur. Employers have a right to know the risks posed to other employees--because they are likely to be sued if someone else accidentally becomes infected.

NO! Someone who is HIV positive is safe from having to tell by the Disabilities Act. Anyone can refuse the pre-exams; if the future employer tells you that you have to take it, you need to have them read the Disabilities Act. By law they cannot make you. Now, they might not hire you because of it (they would tell you that you just weren't qualified or something stupid) but no notification needed.
