Popis:	Based on the Bureau of Economic Research (BERs) 2005 HIV/AIDS survey this paper provides a snapshot view of the nature and the extent of the impact of HIV/AIDS on companies of different sizes in South Africa as well as their response to the epidemic. Whereas the focus of most of the previous workplace surveys has been on "evaluating workplace responses" the present study also considers the economic impact of HIV/AIDS. This study provides evidence of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the largest sample of small medium and large companies in South Africa to date. The survey results suggest that employer responses are strongly linked to company size with the majority of medium and large companies indicating that they have an HIV/AIDS policy in place and small companies having done little in the way of action against the epidemic.
