Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present article is a research study aimed at providing an accurate picture of the problem of
HIV and Aids-related stigma and discrimination within a company, by identifying the possible
factors that help fuelling it, and describing the relationships among them.
On the basis of these findings, I propose initiatives that may help to overcome the main barriers
for stigma mitigation within the company, and provide suggestions for inclusion in the
company’s HIV and Aids policy of strategies and positions that may thwart stigma among the
workforce.
