| HIV/AIDS policy
and agreements |
| |
| AngloGold?s HIV/AIDS policy is contained in
an agreement signed with all recognised trade unions in July
2002 and covers the following aspects: |
| |
|
| • |
Non-discrimination |
| • |
Confidentiality and
disclosure |
| • |
Benefits |
| • |
Ill-health retirement |
| |
|
|
| ART is not mentioned in the agreement as it
was still in pilot phase at the time of signature of the
agreement but labour has participated from the inception of the
ART programme through representation on the project Steering
Committee and the Ethics Forum. (See
ART case study). ART is available to all
South Africa-based AngloGold employees who are infected with HIV
and whose clinical condition meets the medical guidelines for
starting ART, as determined by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) and by the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society. |
