| Abstract: | The AIDS pandemic continues to rage, largely unchecked, across the world. In the last decade, the number of infected Americans has risen from only a few thousand to an estimated 2 million people - with more than 100 more becoming infected every day. By the year 2000, according to estimates, as many as 10 million Americans will be infected with AIDS. Today, AIDS affects the people we know and work with, the people we live with and love. It affects our friends and neighbors, our parents, our children, our husbands and wives and lovers. What can American business do to confront this tragedy? The business community has been slow, some say too slow, to respond. Only 20 percent of companies have AIDS policies and even fewer provide AIDS education. |
