This is a collaborative study between HEARD and The Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE).
Its overall objectives are:
- To determine the prevalence and distribution of HIV/AIDS in four business sectors in KwaZulu-Natal;
- To conduct KAP (Knowledge, Attitude and Practice) surveys in companies within these sectors linked to HIV results;
- To investigate the relationship between HIV infection and selected demographic and KAP variables;
to produce a report to the Department of Health and the Durban Chamber Foundation (DCF) on the results and to make recommendations for interventions and ongoing monitoring and evaluation;
- To provide HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) services for employees wishing to know their status;
To establish the economic impact of HIV and AIDS for the four sectors at provincial level and implications for the province.
