Abstract: A survey of 2,000 adults, commissioned by the National AIDS Fund, found that AIDS remains a top health concern in the workplace, but fewer employers are offering workplace education programs. AIDS education reduces the risk of employer liability, avoids interruptions in productivity, and reduces anxiety about on-the-job exposure. Nine out of ten participants in the study said people with HIV should be treated like any other worker, but many believed that an HIV-positive person would not be treated the same where they work. The results from this survey are not significantly different from those of similar a study that was conducted 5 years earlier.
