アメリカの控訴裁判所で、HIV陽性を理由とした警察官への雇用拒否が違法とされた。
現在進行中の警視庁HIV解雇訴訟に参考となるだろう。
以下は、概要

Holiday v. City of Chattanooga, 206 F.3d 637 (2000)
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Louis Holiday "was entitled to be evaluated based on his actual abilities and relevant medical evidence, and to be protected from discrimination founded on fear, ignorance and misconceptions." In a strongly worded, precedent-setting decision, the court ruled that the city may have violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by refusing to hire Holiday because he has HIV.
The court found that the city did not consider documentation and physical tests that strongly suggest Holiday was capable of performing the job. Today, Holiday is a police officer with the Tennessee Capitol Police.
