Tata Tea & workplace HIV treatment

[Guest guest]

Hello to the list members who are following the thread of testing and treatment

access from Industry to assist in the control of the spread of HIV-AIDS:-

There is a current campaign in Kerala, India for employees of the Tata Tea

plantations but VCT is no value without affordable treatment access. Currently

Tata will apparently pay for the testing but not the treatment.

Is it any wonder people won't test if they become labelled and subsequently

identifiable in the workplace. Guess where the top names for redundancy will be

culled from? Any citations of practical interest that includes a cost benefit

analysis of treatments will be appreciated.
