Objectives of GMSA's HIV/Aids Policy

  • To ensure a uniform and fair approach is adopted to the effective prevention of HIV/Aids amongst employees and their families; and
  • To ensure the comprehensive management of HIV positive employees and employees living with Aids.

HIV/AIDS STRATEGY

  • The primary objective of GMSA's HIV/Aids strategy is to minimise the company and the employees risk to exposure. This is achieved through instilling a prevention culture within the organisation through various education and awareness programmes.

  • Detection is an area which receives an ongoing special focus and entails conducting tests among employees. A recent example of this is the implementation of Aids prevalence tests among a sample base of employees.

  • Treatment is the final element of the company's HIV/Aids strategy and is geared towards providing medication to affected employees.
