ILO and FHI hold HIV/AIDS training

JAKARTA: The International Labor Organization (ILO) and Family
Health International (FHI) are holding a two-day training course
for HIV/AIDS prevention in the workplace.

Being held on July 8 and July 9 in Cipanas, West Java, the
course involves government officials and major trade unions.

The training covers the current situation with HIV/AIDS and
its implication for business in the country, workplace prevention
programs, the concept of Behavior Change Communication and
various approaches to HIV prevention programs.

Government officials, employers and workers have a crucial
role to play and a major stake in reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS
in Indonesia, particularly since over 80 percent of HIV/AIDS
cases occur among individuals in their prime working years. --JP
