There is increasing concern about the manner in which this transformation is impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. While the Government of India has taken significant measures to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, much remains to be done. Given the complexity of the challenge, an effective response requires the engagement of all sectors. The private sector, alongside other stakeholders, can play an important part not only by contributing to the efforts for HIV/AIDS prevention and the reduction of stigma and discrimination, but also for the care, support and treatment of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). The report presents challenges, good practices and success stories about how Informational Technology (IT) companies in India are addressing the issues of HIV/AIDS. It demonstrates the mounting will and commitment of IT leaders to respond to the epidemic. The IT industry in India is young in terms of both its stage of development and the age of its workforce which averages 18-35 years. Reflecting the composition of the sector, the report documents the experiences not only of large companies in India's IT sector, but also of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Each company has used different approaches to address HIV/AIDS among its workforce including community outreach activities. By capturing these companies' experiences, the report seeks to foster a more active response to HIV/AIDS from India's IT community and to encourage new partnerships to leverage the goodwill and competencies of this sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROMEADOLESCENCEAFFECTED CHILDRENAFFECTED COMMUNITIESAGEDAIDS AWARENESSAIDS CONTROLAIDS EPIDEMICAIDS PREVENTIONAIDS PREVENTION INITIATIVESAIDS PROGRAMSAWARENESS CAMPAIGNSAWARENESS RAISINGBANKSBEHAVIORAL CHANGEBUSINESS ORGANIZATIONSBUSINESS TRUSTCEOCHIEF EXECUTIVECIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLECTIVECOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMUNITY AWARENESSCOMMUNITY OUTREACHCOMPANYCONDOMCONDOM DISTRIBUTIONCONDOM USECORPORATE AFFAIRSCORPORATE BODIESCORPORATE CITIZENSHIPCORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYCORPORATIONDECISION MAKINGDIGNITYDISABILITYDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION POLICYDISEASEEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYERFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGGENDERHEALTH EXPERTSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH TOPICSHIVHIV POSITIVEHIV POSITIVE PEOPLEHIV PREVENTIONHIV TESTINGHIV/AIDSHIV/AIDS CAREHOLISTIC APPROACHHOSPITALSHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSILLNESSESIMMUNODEFICIENCYINCLUSIONINCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENTINCORPORATEDINDIVIDUAL COMPANIESINDIVIDUALSINFECTIONINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERVENTIONJOBSJOINT VENTURESLARGE COMPANIESLEADERSHIP SKILLSLIFE SKILLSLIMITEDLTD.MAINSTREAMINGMALARIAMARKETINGMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL SCIENCESMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICINEMEDICINESMIGRATIONNATIONAL AIDS CONTROLNATIONAL ASSOCIATIONNEW INFECTIONSNUTRITIONAL STATUSOCCUPATIONAL HEALTHOCCUPATIONAL HEALTH NURSESORPHANSPANEL OF EXPERTSPARTNERSHIPPATIENTSPEER EDUCATIONPEER EDUCATORSPERSONSPOSTERSPREVALENCEPREVALENCE RATEPREVENTION EDUCATIONPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPQUALITY OF LIFERISKY BEHAVIORSAFE SEXSAFETYSAFETY ISSUESSCHOOLSSERIOUS EPIDEMICSEX WORKERSSKILL DEVELOPMENTSMALL COMPANYSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIETIESSOCIETYSTAKEHOLDERSTAKEHOLDERSSTREET CHILDRENSUBSIDIARIESSUBSIDIARYTBTRANSPORTATIONTREATMENTTUBERCULOSISUNAIDSUNIVERSITIESVISIONVOLUNTARY COUNSELINGVULNERABLE CHILDRENWORK ENVIRONMENTWORKING CONDITIONSWORKPLACEWORKPLACE AWARENESSWORKPLACE EDUCATIONYOUNG WORKERSWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/28254
