After reviewing the HIV/AIDS
programs of 55 businesses, the Indonesian government declared PT Freeport
Indonesia (PTFI) the “Best of the Best” in the nation. PTFI has been
implementing HIV programs for employees and their families in company locations
since 2004.
PTFI’s Public Health and Malaria
Control program provides HIV prevention campaigns, and HIV/AIDS education and
workshops for employees and families; and adheres to standard protocols for
STD-focused medical exams, diagnoses, and prevention. PTFI also has established
policies to prevent discrimination against HIV-infected employees.
The HIV/AIDS program is part of
PTFI’s safety and health policy, which strives to eliminate all occupational
diseases and workplace injuries. All PTFI managers are directly responsible for
adhering to the company’s health and safety policy, which is enforced through
comprehensive, independent audits. PTFI then applies necessary resources to
correct any weaknesses identified during these audits.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
