| Abstract |
This paper examines limitations in the response of key players in the gold mining industry in countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to the problem of HIV/AIDS. It is argued that attention was given to biomedical or behavioural prevention programmes or to human rights issues rather than to the social and developmental dimensions of HIV-transmission. A case study highlights some of the social, economic and political factors which make southern African migrant workers susceptible to HIV infection and describes an intervention in a mining community in South Africa which seeks to develop a more holistic approach to HIV/AIDS management in an industrial setting. |
