The sector is in a unique position to address stigma and discrimination as well as trying to minimise HIV infection among the workforce and the wider community and economy. Also the private sector has been successful in reaching men, for example through work-based peer group education or information and condom distribution through trade unions programmes. Through the Danish Private Sector Development Programme, companies receiving funds from the programme can be supported in providing AIDS information for their workforce.For more info on Private Sector [pdf]
Denmark is promoting HIV prevention amongst its employees and protecting and supporting those already infected.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has introduced a HIV policy in terms of which employees and their immediate family members are offered information and medical services, including control and treatment for HIV/AIDS. The policy is committed to non-discrimination in relation to HIV positive staff and seeks to raise the awareness of HIV/AIDS for all employees so that they are better able to protect themselves and their families from HIV/AIDS.
