The results of a 2001 survey of Nigerian
manufacturing firms, underscore the importance of giving
business managers, both a reason, and the means to take
action on the implications of HIV/AIDS. Using regression
methods to analyze which characteristics of the firms
affected the probability about taking action on the
epidemic, five variables, statistically predicted such
action: known working individual, currently an HIV-positive;
deceased individual, or who no longer works with the firm
due to HIV/AIDS; information received by the firm on
HIV/AIDS in the last year; the industrial importance of the
firm; and, an on-site medical clinic at the firm. These
findings indicate that first hand experience on the
epidemic, is a determining factor for behavioral change,
consistent with findings in both developed, and developing
countries. Thus, it is suggested that conducting voluntary,
anonymous HIV prevalence surveys in the workforce, may
become the practice that prompts managers to take action,
and, findings also supported the efforts that would promote
counseling, and testing, as an intervention to reduce risky
behavior, therefore helping prevent the spread of the disease. |
