It is estimated that between 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 persons in the United States are living with HIV or AIDS. HIV affects all segments of society, and the rate of infection is increasing among women, minorities and youth – the current and future workforce. HIV & AIDS have not disappeared, and neither have the complex issues they raise.
Does your workplace handle discrimination, return-to-work, or employee morale issues? CDC's Business/Labor Responds to AIDS (BRTA/LRTA) program is a resource for these and many other questions.
HIV/AIDS materials and technical assistance are available through BLRS. BLRS can also refer you to organizations in your community that offer assistance with employee education. The organizations may include your local health agencies, the American Red Cross, United Way, AIDS service organizations, or other community-based organizations.
