| Popis: | It is perhaps surprising that there is not a huge number of books address ing themselves specifically to the wide range of questions raised by HIV and AIDS in the workplace. Yet any literature search will confirm that there have been few books exclusively devoted to the subject. Goss and Adam-Smith (as above) posit that the paucity of material on the subject exists because of a number of inter-related factors. Firstly, they argue, the workplace is not generally associated with behaviour which transmits HIV (save perhaps health care work); secondly, for many of those whose HIV status is known to employers and colleagues (because they have become symptomatic), work is no longer an option because of failing health; and finally, they argue, much of the literature devoted to workplace issues has not included AIDS because it is believed to be the province of other specialists, notably medics and social workers. A reader wishing to find articles dealing with questions of HIV in the workplace will need to trawl a wide range of journals in the fields of sociology, law, politics, history, psychology and medicine, as well as the large number of edited collections |
