HIV/AIDS
We have an HIV/AIDS awareness programme which is integrated into the regular company training programmes available to staff. The aim of the programme is to advise staff members of the effects of HIV/AIDS and available preventative methods, and brochures are regularly distributed to staff.
An HIV/AIDS management programme is available to permanent staff and their immediate families. The programme is run by an external service provider which offers access to post-HIV exposure counseling through a care centre and covers initial medication, free consultations and assistance in locating a clinic for treatment.
Participation by employees and their families is voluntary and counseling is confidential. The group meets the cost of this cover for employees.
