A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in the Department of Psychology, University of Zululand, 2004. / The aim of this study was to determine whether intervention programs do enhance performance of HIV/AIDS infected persons in the workplace using a qualitative design. The study explored the experience of two categories of persons in the work environment i.e. professional nurses involved in administering the program and the HIV/AIDS infected persons as recipients. Data was collected from each category in four organizations through in-depth interviews using the qualitative approach. The phenomenological method supports the assumption that an individual's experience is more valid and reliable as it gives a realistic picture that people can relate to and agree with the findings (Chasi & de Wet, 2002). Data collected from work policy documents was used to establish what programs were in place to deal with HIV/AIDS at organizational level. The following conclusions were made: ♦ Intervention programs enhance work performance of HIV/ AIDS infected persons ♦ Policies provide a guideline as to what strategies organizations use to deaf with HIV/AIDS ♦ Monitoring and evaluation of intervention programs is essential in any organisation

Thesis (LLM. (Labour Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013 / This mini-dissertation outlines the protection of rights of people living with HIV/AIDS in the workplace. It will highlight the fact that people living with HIV/AIDS can perform the work as long as they medically fit. It will show the need to promote anti discriminatory laws in the workplace. People think that HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through casual contact but that will be shown in the study that HIV/AIDS can not be transmitted by casual contact. The mini-dissertation also outlines the need to educate employees about their rights more particularly those living with HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Therefore policies such as affirmative action must be implemented to affirm several advantages to people living with HIV/AIDS. Equality is what people must enjoy in the country in terms of section 9 of the Constitution including people living with HIV/AIDS.

Thesis (MPhil (Industrial Psychology. HIV/AIDS Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / The Uganda government through the ministry of health, collaborating with several NGOs and donors has done a commendable job in arresting the medical effects of HIV/AIDS. This has been done through provision of ARVs and treatment of opportunistic infections. As a result, Uganda has enjoyed a lot of international praise for its response to the medical effects of HIV/AIDS. However, inadequate attention has been paid to the epidemics social economic effects. It is known that HIV mostly affects young people in their years of economic productivity. These people spend eight or more hours of every day in their work place but despite this; work places especially private institutions have not taken steps to respond to the scourge of HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS work place policies have not been formulated, and in some cases, they are on paper but no implementation is being done. Consequently, HIV/AIDS still affects the carriers, income and occupational activities of infected workers. This study reveals that the working population is generally ignorant about workplace HIV/AIDS policies, and their relevance to workers living with HIV/AIDS. A significant proportion of the respondents have lost jobs because of their HIV status, while majority affirm that living with HIV/AIDS has affected their occupations, carriers and income
