The 15th Public Finance Court of the Comarca da Capital determined that candidates for the training competition for soldiers of the Military Police of the state of Rio, carriers of HIV and/or dermatological diseases such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and dermatosis that compromises shaving or that brings only aesthetic impairment, cannot be excluded from the competition due. The request was made to Justice by the 5th Public Prosecutor’s Office for Collective Guardianship of Defense of Citizenship in the Capital in a Public Civil Action filed against the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian Institute for Support and Executive Development (Ibade), organizer of the Military Police competition. In the notice referring to the public tender to fill vacancies in the Training Course for military police soldiers, several exams are scheduled, including anti-HIV 1 and 2, as well as the elimination of candidates with HIV. In addition, the announcement also provides for the exclusion from the competition of candidates with clinical conditions, signs or symptoms that disable them, including those with HIV and dermatological diseases: vitiligo; psoriasis; pemphigus; extensive eczema; chronic paronychia of the toes; acne with an acute inflammatory process or another dermatosis (psychosis, pseudofolliculitis) that compromises shaving; Persistent and/or incurable diseases or alterations of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and appendages that bring functional and/or aesthetic impairment. According to the MPRJ, “this Public Prosecutor’s Office recommended that the Military Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Ibade remove from the public notice the provision for exclusion of candidates with a dermatological disease that does not constitute a disabling condition or harmful to the development of police activity, and the requirement to submit a medical examination for HIV. The defendant State, however, chose to maintain its discriminatory conduct, despite having been informed that the aforementioned diseases would not impair the performance of police duties, in addition to the fact that HIV status is confidential and cannot be required of the candidate,” says an excerpt from the public civil action. The objective tests for the PM soldier contest are scheduled for August 27th. The corporation is offering 2 thousand vacancies.
