A mother at our daycare who now has worked around 8 months in the pharmacy I receive medication from.
It is for anti virals.
Given my condition I have been very private.
I have watched her become distant, grins never will speak like she did and avoids me.
Her new daycare friend now no longer speaks to me.
On a recent gathering with these mothers she sat turned to watch me, honestly 70% of the time.
I was not rude nor caused any attention on myself
Her child is called away from me when they were in front of me and I was smiling.
At sign in and out time if we are near she will barge around like she is ready to have a go.
Teachers have watched this behaviour.
I will be checking in more in her finish hours and wonder how to deal with this.
I am safe I am aware I will experience stigma and ignorance although not by a pharmacist.

Im guessing its a condition that stigma is attached to - HIV/Hep/etc?

She just sounds really unprofessional if im honest. I dont think you have a reason to complain yet, but id be looking for concrete grounds to put one in. If you get wind that shes told others your medical history you can complain to her work and she'd be fired.

HI OP, just me but I’d probably have a word with her and ask if she has an issue with you or if you’ve offended her in any way. If she says no then say you’ve been wondering why she’s been avoiding you and staring at you. It sounds rather like bullying behaviour designed to intimidate.

Depending on her response I might have a word with the chief pharmacist/pharmacy manager. I’d be concerned she’d be treating anyone else she knows who might go to that pharmacy in the same fashion and I’m sure they’d thank you for letting them know. Is this woman a trained pharmacist or an assistant who takes in and hands out medication?
