Impact of HIV & AIDS

Business Impact

Now more than ever, businesses stand at the front lines to assist in the fight and decrease the prevalence and impact of HIV/AIDS on a global and national level. Direct and indirect impacts in the workplace, which include increased costs and overall threats to the foundation, can pose devastating effects to the employee and employer.

Businesses encompass a broad range of players, from large corporations or large businesses to smaller and medium-size businesses. These organizations understand that HIV/AIDS is not only a health issue, but a core business issue. Every large business has been or will be affected by HIV and AIDS, and most small businesses will follow suit. Small and medium-sized businesses are an indispensable resource for the many service organizations in local communities across the nation, serving as ambassadors in their respective communities.
