You as employer

HIV/AIDS mainly affects adults of working age. Thanks to medical progress, people living with HIV/AIDS in Switzerland enjoy almost the same life expectancy as HIV negative individuals and are generally able to live a normal life, and to work, for decades. Prejudice and discrimination, however, may prevent them doing so. Analysis of individual cases of discrimination consistently reveals that many people who discriminate against others do so out of ignorance, thus unwittingly and unwillingly committing unlawful acts.

As an employer, you can work proactively to quell nascent discrimination at your company, and www.workpositive.ch, the information site on HIV/AIDS at the workplace, can help you by promoting discussion of HIV/AIDS on the job.
