Abstract
The AIDS epidemic presents an enormous challenge for many groups and organizations in society. This study focuses on the response of employers to AIDS in the workplace. The critical decisions confronting employers include whether they should educate workers about the virus, test job applicants and current personnel for AIDS, and accommodate employees that contract the disease. In surveying 208 personnel administrators in New York City, this study finds that public employers are the most likely to provide AIDS information, private and nonprofit employers are more apt to accommodate workers, and few employers are willing to test their workers for AIDS.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
