The policy should – Be fully consistent with the employer’s mission and corporate values, and states that consistency clearly – Review the medical facts – Explain how HIV affects the immune system – Explain why an HIV-infected person does not present a threat to the health of others – Include training in universal precautions to prevent exposure to blood borne pathogens The most effective context for explaining company policy is workplace HIV/AIDS training. Each worker should receive a copy of the policy during the training and be encouraged to reflect on how it is consistent with the training.
