StopAIDS

Our comprehensive workplace HIV/AIDS program, StopAIDS, combines risk mitigation education with access to community-based care and treatment. Now in its fourth year, the program has been implemented in our sub-Saharan African operation sites and is expanding to Indonesia and Sakhalin Island, Russia.

Combating the Spread of HIV/AIDS
AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since the disease was first recognized in 1981. With millions of new infections each year, the total number of people living with HIV continues to rise, making it one of the most devastating epidemics known to man. Anti-retroviral therapy can be used to extend survival and improve quality of life, but there is no known cure for AIDS.

HIV/AIDS impacts the lives of many more people than those infected with the disease. Developing nations are the hardest hit, with 65 percent of new infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, where roughly 7 percent of the adult population is infected with HIV/AIDS.
