- Description:
- This paper describes the intensifying AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, and identifies a range of emergent needs in this connection. It examines existing social work involvement in AIDS and finds that social workers in Africa are currently considerably under utilised in this field. The paper explores potential social work roles and argues for the inclusion of AIDS issues in all social work training, and for closer coordination between medical and social aspects of care, to engage social workers and others in meeting growing needs more effectively. The author argues for the mobilisation of widespread community resourcesfor the prevention of HIV, to provide support for people with HIV or AIDS and their families, and to recognise AIDS as a critical development issue demanding an urgent response.

- Description:
- This paper examines current and potential AIDS policy, and its orientation, at the workplace in Zimbabwe, and looks at the degree of concern that commercial companies have about AIDS. All 94 companies studied expressed some concern about AIDS, but only one third had developed a specific AIDS policy, and two thirds had begun AIDS education programmes. Major concerns expressed by the companies included the recruitment of skilled labour; rising insurance, health and pension costs; loss of time and productivity; and lowered morale. Twenty two per cent of them had some form of HIV screening in place, and 41% thought preemployment screening was justified. The paper notes current educational initiatives and makes recommendations for supportive and coordinated policy development.
