Members of Wits Schools of Business, Economics, Law, Public
Health and Social Sciences have organised an interdisciplinary
HIV/AIDS in the Workplace Research Symposium. The Symposium aims
to provide an opportunity for researchers from all academic dis-
ciplines and practitioners conducting 'action research' in work
environments to present and discuss their work on HIV/AIDS in
the workplace.
Research Papers
In addition to three 'key note' plenary presentations, thirty
original research papers will be presented in a number of paral-
lel sessions. Papers are grouped into topics and there will be
opportunity for questions and discussion following paper presen-
tations.
Paper sessions include:
Corporate Responses to HIV/AIDS in South Africa
Modelling and Cost Analysis in South African Workplaces
Stigma in the Workplace
Small and Medium Enterprises and HIV/AIDS
Nursing and HIV/AIDS
Corporate Reporting and Best Practice Guides for HIV/AIDS
The Atypical Workplace
Stakeholder Involvement
Voluntary Counselling and Testing
Round Tables
Two sets of Round Table discussions will take place during the
symposium. These will consist of a panel of experts who will
raise and respond to issues from the audience within the discus-
sion topic.
These forums will provide a more informal environment within
which important issues can be explored.
Round Table sessions include:
The Role of the Private Sector in Providing HIV/AIDS
Treatment
HIV/AIDS in the Mining Sector
People Living Openly with HIV/AIDS in the Workplace
HIV/AIDS in the Public Sector
HIV/AIDS, Housing and Migration
HIV/AIDS and Trade Unions

HIV/AIDS and Company reporting
Health, women, work and HIV/AIDS
The Future of HIV/AIDS in the Workplace Research
The Symposium will provide a rigorous and intellectually stimu-
lating environment for original and relevant research work on
HIV/AIDS in the Workplace. The Symposium will also provide a
structured set of sessions to allow researchers and all inter-
ested parties to discuss how this research field should be pro-
moted and coordinated in the future. All inputs into this impor-
tant debate are welcomed.
