Abstract

In a survey of 67 corporations done in 1987 and 1988, 66 were found to have had employees with human immunodeficiency virus infections. The numbers and backgrounds of the infected employees tend to reflect the experience of the surrounding community. These employees were accommodated in keeping with published public health and social guidelines, without significant event. Responsible intervention should include defined medically and socially appropriate policy statements, effective education, and various forms of direct care. © by American College of Occupational Medicine.
