| Abstract: | From the mid 1980s onwards HIV/AIDS became a new subject of work reform, with a range of experts producing new knowledges on work and the worker in regard to HIV/AIDS and workplace organizations putting in place workplace HIV/AIDS policies and programmes. To date, much of the discussion in sociology in regard to such policies and programmes has focused on the issue of effectiveness and has been concerned with making such policy 'better'. In this article however, and with particula reference to sexuality, the paper suggests that such approaches fail to register that workplace HIV/AIDS policies concern new conceptualizations of worker identities. Specifically, the paper suggests that such policies may be viewed as part of an assemblage of work reforms. |
