HIV WORKPLACE POLICY
OVERVIEW OF HIV WORKPLACE POLICY
The framework of commitment (work plan) for ACTION to reduce the spread of HIV /AIDS and manage its impact in the workplace.
Should address essential issues, including non-discrimination, fair employment, management commitment, confidentiality, and communication of information and prevention.
Currently, there is no compulsion to have a HIV and AIDS policy at the workplace, but businesses are encouraged to adopt the code of practice by The Department of Occupational Safety & Health Malaysia.
THE BUSINESS BENEFITS OF
HIV/AIDS WORKPLACE POLICY
HIV & AIDS IN MALAYSIA
Under the National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS (NSP) 2006-2010, Malaysia has made much progress in HIV prevention, particularly utilising the harm reduction approach which has begun to yield results in reducing the spread of the HIV epidemic. People Living with HIV and in need of treatment are able to access first-line treatment at no cost whilst the second-line regimes are heavily subsidised as well.
The biggest challenge in the management of HIV/AIDS is the shifting trend of the epidemic. Sexual transmission is now the leading cause of HIV in Malaysia (70% of all newly reported cases in 2016), replacing injecting drug use which used to be the main cause of the HIV and AIDS epidemic for more than 30 years. Malaysia currently records 9 new HIV infections per day and 6 of them were caused by sexual transmission.

A Study on Medical Insurance Coverage for People Living with HIV in Selected Multinational Insurance Companies in Malaysia
The Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAF) through the Malaysian Business Consortium for HIV/AIDS (MBCH) platform has joined efforts with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to carry out comprehensive research on the subject of medical insurance coverage for People Living with HIV (PLHIV).
