The Ontario Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination against all persons who have, or are suspected of having AIDS or AIDS-related illness.

The Code similarly prohibits discrimination against people who associate with persons living with AIDS or AIDS-related illness.

If you have been required to undergo HIV antibody testing, or have been asked whether you have AIDS or AIDS-related illness as a condition of:

• admission to a school;
• at an employment interview or employment-related medical examination;

or if you have been:

• denied a job, dismissed, or demoted, and can still perform the duties of that job;
• denied special measures of accomodation to ensure your full participation in or access to employment;
• denied housing accomodation;
• denied service by a provider of services, goods, and facilities (eg. store, restaurant, club, government agency, insurance company, hospital, dentist's or doctor's office);
• denied permission to attend school;
• harassed at work by your superiors or co-workers, or by your landlord, building superintendent, or other tenants in your building;

because you have, or are suspected of having AIDS or AIDS-related illness, get in touch with the Ontario Human Rights Commission by calling (416) 965-8841. You may be able to file a complaint.

You do not need a lawyer or have to pay a fee to anyone in order to file a complaint.

You have a right to be protected against this kind of discrimination.
