Abstract: HIV infection is characterized by various psychosocial features, namely, a gradual, long-drawn, incapaci tating, stigmatising and terminal nature. Undoubtedly, it presents numerous implications for various aspects of life. In terms of the workplace, complex ramifications are identifiable. HIV/AIDS increases costs, reduces productivity and investment, and influences labour participation. It also results in different kinds of dis crimination against positive people, such as denial of appointments and promotions, dismissals, isolation and abuse. Organizations have demonstrated a range of responses, depending essentially on their financial and human resource capacities. Overall, the attempt should be towards humanistic and empowering responses.
