HIV/AIDS POLICY: INTRODUCTION Over the years the treatment of infection with HIV has improved considerably and what was once a death sentence is now just another treatable chronic disease. This in itself has created challenges as there is considerable fatigue and complacency around HIV. However, we are continuing our efforts, particularly as tuberculosis (TB) is closely associated with the HIV infection and is a major problem in southern Africa. HIV has to be correctly managed if TB is to be beaten. The magnitude of the health challenge posed by HIV/AIDS is such that individual companies cannot adequately address it alone and we reiterate that a comprehensive and effective response to HIV/AIDS requires a partnership between all stakeholders. We believe non-discrimination, as well as consultation, inclusivity and encouraging full participation of all stakeholders are key principles, which underpin its HIV/AIDS responses. Our policy is based upon a human rights foundation
