ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to conduct an evaluation of staff attitudes towards the HIV and AIDS workplace programme at the BSRCS. Four research objectives were to establish staff attitudes towards the HIV and AIDS workplace prevention, treatment, care, support, monitoring and evaluation programmes. The problems associated with the impact of HIV/AIDS in the world of work of BSRCS, as a non-profit making organisation, were loss in break-even margins, and employees’ mortality and absenteeism. Both parties accumulate an increase in costs structures.
