Description: (Publisher-supplied data) Providing an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and constraints faced by six small- and medium-sized enterprises in managing the burden of HIV/AIDS within their companies, this study focuses on the complexity of HIV risk dynamics, as well as the challenges of implementing effective HIV/AIDS intervention programs, and highlights achievements despite resource constraints. Through qualitative research techniques, the study reflects not only the views and opinions of management, but also the experiences of ordinary employees as participants in HIV/AIDS interventions.
