Three men have been given the go-ahead by a federal court to sue American Airlines for withdrawing flight attendant job offers after it was revealed they were HIV-poitive. According to the court's ruling, the airline must wait until all background checks have been completed and a job has been offered before requesting medical information. In this case the court says the airline requested the information prematurely. The men had not disclosed they were HIV-positive, but after they gave blood tests that suggested they may be using anti-HIV medication, they revealed their status. Shortly thereafter the job offers were withdrawn.
