多个组织向法国最高法院提起诉讼，挑战对HIV携带者在武装部队、宪兵队和消防部门某些岗位的持续排除。
Several organisations have brought a case before France’s highest court to challenge the continued exclusion of people living with HIV from certain posts in the armed forces, gendarmerie and fire services.
提起诉讼的组织包括STOP Homophobie和SOS Racisme，他们指出招聘人员行使了“过度权力”，将HIV携带者排除在某些岗位之外。
The organisations bringing the case before the Council of State, including STOP Homophobie and SOS Racisme, point to “an excess of power” wielded by recruiters, who keep people with HIV out of certain posts.
2023年5月，法国向HIV携带者开放了陆军、宪兵队以及巴黎和马赛消防队。
In May 2023, France opened the army, gendarmerie and Paris and Marseille fire brigades to people living with HIV.
然而，一些岗位——如军用飞行员、特种部队人员和某些专业消防工作——因医学评估仍然禁止HIV携带者进入。
However, some positions – such as military pilots, those in commando units and some specialist firefighting jobs – remain off-limits because of medical assessments.
武装部队、宪兵队和消防部门使用Sigycop医学分类系统评估候选人的体能，该系统在法国公共部门广泛使用。
The armed forces, gendarmerie and fire service assess candidates’ fitness using the Sigycop medical classification system, widely used in the French public sector.
即使接受治疗、无症状且身体健康，HIV携带者在这些测试中也无法获得最高评级，案件律师Étienne Deshoulières在一份声明中表示。
People living with HIV are automatically unable to receive the highest rating in these tests “even if receiving treatment, asymptomatic and in perfect health”, Étienne Deshoulières, the lawyer bringing the case, said in a statement.
组织要求彻底改革医学体能要求，因为这些要求对“所有HIV携带者无一例外”构成歧视，Deshoulières称该医学评估构成“与HIV相关的歧视”，并补充说这“间接具有同性恋恐惧和种族主义性质”。
Stamping out misinformation in France's fight against HIV-Aids The organisations are asking for medical fitness requirements to be overhauled, as they discriminate against “all people living with HIV without distinction”, said Deshoulières. He said the medical assessment amounts to “HIV-related discrimination” – which he added is “indirectly homophobic and racist”.
根据法国国家新兴传染病研究署最新调查，42%的HIV携带者为男男性行为者，24%来自撒哈拉以南非洲地区。
Forty-two percent of people living with HIV are men who have sex with men, while 24 percent are from sub-Saharan Africa, according to the latest survey of people living with HIV by France’s national agency for Emerging Infectious Diseases research.
组织表示，他们曾于6月30日要求武装部队部长、内政部长（负责警察）和卫生部长废除相关规定，但未获回应后，将案件提交至国务院。
The organisations say they asked the Minister for the Armed Forces, as well as the Interior Minister, who oversees the police and the Health Ministry, to repeal the provisions in question on 30 June. They brought the case to the Council of State after receiving no response.
