HIV-AIDS

HIV/AIDS is one of the most formidable challenges to development and social progress. The disease poses a great threat to the workplace. In the Philippines, reports indicate that cases have been significantly increasing since 2000. From a classification of “low and slow”, the situation has since been described by government as “hidden and growing”. That is why the ILO is committed to working closely with its constituents and partners to help avert the spread of HIV/AIDS especially in the workplace.
