This study examines the application of reasonable accommodation to situations involving employees with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Two questions are posed. What types of accommodations are needed? How readily available is the reasonable accommodation component of the Americans With Disabilities Act? These questions are addressed through qualitative analysis. Three lessons are drawn from the findings.
