StopAIDS

Now in its fifth year, our comprehensive workplace HIV/AIDS program, StopAIDS, combines risk mitigation education with access to community-based care and treatment to keep healthy workers disease-free and educate HIV-positive workers on how to live safely with the illness. ExxonMobil does not test for HIV and HIV status is not a factor in determining an employee’s ability to work.

Throughout our operations, we analyze existing population data on the prevalence of HIV to: understand local risk factors for HIV transmission in the general population; determine the capacity of local and national health services infrastructure to support the diagnosis, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS; and gauge the level of access to care provided to employees and families via company health plans.

In 2008, ExxonMobil affiliates in:

• Angola conducted 16 workplace training sessions; three community training sessions; and nine employee events, such as HIV/AIDS Family Day;
• Cameroon assisted over 1,200 women and parents with AIDS in the Nyon District hospital through direct employee contributions and matched funds from the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company; and,
• Indonesia established a committee to conduct a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Survey; blood-borne disease awareness sessions; and a workplace gap assessment within ExxonMobil facilities in Aceh, Jakarta, and Cepu.
