Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study, existing data were used to conduct a descriptive research study into the
adherence or lack thereof - in varying degrees - of South African companies to the ten key
principles of the International Labour Organisation's Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the
world of work with regard to HIV/AIDS workplace policy content. The research showed that
most policies prohibit pre-employment testing and make provisions for job security, protection
from discrimination, and ensuring confidentiality.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel gehad om die mate waartoe ondernemings hulle onderwerp aan die ILO voorskrifte te toets. Resultate toon daarop dat verskeie ondernemings reeds gedeeltelik daaraan voldoen, maar dat daar nog verskeie aspekte van die Kode is wat in Suid-Afrikaanse onderneming in werking gestel moet word.
