Implementing the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work

Abstract

"The manual is designed to help the ILO’s partners understand the issues and apply the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the world of work, which was adopted in May 2001. The Code is at the core of the ILO’s Programme on HIV/AIDS, providing guidance to governments, employers and workers, as well as other stakeholders, on national action plans and workplace policies and programmes to combat HIV/AIDS. The Code has broad application, and in many cases will be used without the benefit of training or support from ILO offices. This manual is therefore intended as an education and reference document as well as a tool for training, a guide for negotiators, and an aid for all those seeking to promote action to limit the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS in the world of work."
