I am working as a taxi driver. I am HIV-positive now. Will I still be allowed to keep the taxi badge and work?

Of course! There is no reason why you should change your job, unless you don’t want it.

The only reasons that HIV should prevent you working in a certain job, should be if there is a direct risk to either your health, or another persons health. This is generally for surgeons, dentists, and a few specialist areas of nursing.
All the best!
