Masibambane HIV Prevention
WE OFFER
CareWorks offers the Masibambane HIV Prevention Programme using interactive learning to focus on a combination approach to HIV prevention.
The programme results in a high uptake of voluntary HIV testing at Wellness Days and other health events.
By addressing the behavioural factors that put employees at risk of HIV infection, CareWorks is able to increase knowledge of HIV, STIs and TB as well as to promote positive health-seeking behaviour.

IMPACT
HIV affects every workplace with prolonged employee illness, absenteeism and death; impacting on productivity, employee benefits and production costs.
By educating your workforce and addressing the factors that affect behaviour, you can prevent new infections, thereby reducing the financial burden of HIV/AIDS for the organisation.
A successful workplace combination prevention programme may also improve labour/employee relations.
