HIV and AIDS in the World of Work

The ILO estimates that around 30 million people living with HIV will be in the labour force by 2020. Although widely available ART drugs now mean that people living with HIV can remain in the workplace, it is not always available and stigma and discrimination against with HIV remain an important problem.

Especially in countries where HIV and AIDS continues to have high prevalence rates, companies cannot afford to be complacent.
