"A HIV-positive Kenyan woman has won $35,000 in a landmark ruling against her employer for unfair dismissal.
The 45-year-old waitress, whose identity has been withheld, also sued her doctor for revealing her HIV status without her consent.
The High Court ruled that it was unlawful to end employment on the grounds of a person's HIV status. None of the defendants admitted liability.
About 2.5m out of 32m Kenyans are currently living with HIV/Aids."

This gives some hope to those who've also been unfairly dismissed for similar reasons. Good news.
