Survey search: four studies of employers' responses to AIDS.

Health Cost Manage. 1986 Jan-Feb;3(1):7-15, 18. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE AHA/86166259

Abstract: Even though medical science can't give definitive answers to all the questions about the disease, employers must make decisions regarding AIDS in the workplace. The findings of two questionnaire and two interview surveys by leading business groups reveal the experiences of employers across the country, describe organizational responses and their effects and give an idea of benefit costs incurred by AIDS-affected employees.
