I would not have been thrown out for having HIV, it was a part of the hiring process. Along with a criminal background check, and many other tests.

I am not sure this is so surprising. I was hired to teach high school students English, so I would interacting with potentially hundreds of people in a day. Considering the high application rate, it would be very easy to find someone just as qualified who wasn't HIV positive.
