Absolutely. In the UK at least, the government started sending letters to people with mental disabilities that allude to the fact that new laws are being introduced to make them go back into employment unless they can prove that they are physically crippled. Some of those people that the government have already targeted include people with HIV because of the advancements in the treatment of this virus with things like combination therapy. What they completely (and purposely) fail to take into account is the fact that combination therapy is such a strong cocktail of drugs that it does affect the mental stability of a person living with the virus to the extent that they might find themselves incapable of overcoming mental issues that arise because of this.
