Can HIV Patients Get CDL?

I too have had no trouble, and been positive since early 2003 and on several regimens since 2005 (11years) with no major issues that would affect my ability to preform at or above the capacity of the average person. In fact I find myself sick much less than my counterparts, and I tend to work harder than them as well as get tired less easily. Aside from working hard full-time I run a mile every other day, bike 8 miles a week, and lift weights regularly.

Your friends med side effects could very likely subside after a while, and as long as they remain effective he could easily return to normal activity levels at some point. Good luck!

 

Did you become a Cdl driver

 

And were you able to obtain your dot medical card?

 

No but having HIV status in some areas if you had contact with anyone in certain ways will get you arrested for a form of assault and battery. But HIV is not itself preventing going into trucking. The problem is energy levels. You would be a meth head in a short order trying to burn your dead tired and weary body for another 1000 miles in 24 hours.

In short. If you consider that the human body makes all sorts of repairs in life while you are asleep and you cannot really count on that kind of sleep, then triple the stress and physical activity etc you are going to set up a situation where a special inflammation storm will kill.

 

Yes, you can get your CDL and medical card if you have HIV.

 

If your getting the right treatment HIV is nothing to day and won’t stop anything..

This isn’t the 90s, it is easily treatable today

people are just ignorant of modern medicine
