Hi guys,
Pretty nervous to post on here as I am still struggling to come to terms with things myself, I got HIV when I was 17 through no fault of my own.
I am looking to see if anyone knows if a HIV diagnosis would put me at no chance of passing a medical as a Trainee Train Driver or if it isn't something that would rule out a medical pass?
I am 23, fit and healthy apart from the obvious, I have managed HIV through medication and I won't go into all the doctors jargon but I am undetectable and the treatment is working for me.
I have looked on-line for pass/fail conditions for a Train Driver medical but cannot find anything on there about it.
I previously took tests to become a Pilot and passed them all, but the CAA weren't as open to the fact we are now in 2015 when it came to the medical.
I am hoping Train Drivers could be different or is that another dream of mine down the toilet?
Any advice/information would help!
Thank you for your time
