Prevention Pays

Breaking the silence and raising awareness could be achieved
if the leading businesses in each country added HIV/AIDS prevention to existing
induction training and occupational health and safety programs. And because the
fate of the communities in which products are made does ultimately affect the
entire global economy, corporations should extend their anti-AIDS efforts to
include their suppliers, distributors and customers or the communities where
they operate. Even setting aside all humanitarian considerations, to regard the
problem purely from the standpoint of self-interest, the corporate sector has
much at stake here in confronting this global epidemic. More information
about the Global Health Initiative and its work can be found at www.weforum.org/globalhealth. | Kate Taylor, a physician specializing in international public health, is
