Even if you are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS in France, you can now enlist in the military.
Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said in an interview with France 2 on the 8th (local time) that “HIV infection will no longer be a criterion of discrimination in principle”.
Le Cornu added that the principle would be promulgated by law “in the next few days”, which would apply to the military, the police, the Paris and Marseille fire departments and the entire armed forces.
In order to become a French soldier, you have to pass a physical health test, but so far, if you say you are HIV-positive, you are classified as ineligible and not accepted.
This change follows the proposal made by Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, who oversees the police organization, by sending a letter to Minister Le Cornu on the 2nd.
The French government abolished the criteria for HIV infection when hiring police officers in November of last year, and several civil service organizations have followed suit.
According to recent medical research results, HIV is undetectable in HIV-infected people receiving antiretroviral treatment, and HIV can be managed to a level that does not transmit it.
