HIV/Aids Symposium
We kicked off today’s show with Professor David Dickinson- from Wits Business School- who is also involved with the 2nd HIV/AIDS Symposium which brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of HIV/AIDS in the workplace.
This year the symposium focuses on 3 important themes namely prevention, community and the second economy. These issues are said to reflect the current challenges in making workplace programmes effective. Other areas such as testing, discrimination and treatment will also be explored.
This Symposium is open to the public and will take place from the 29th to 30th of May 2008 at Wits Business School, Parktown- Johannesburg.
“We will be sharing at the symposium what we have learned about our efforts to combat HIV/Aids in the workplace and the challenges we are facing,” says Dickinson.
