StopAIDS

Now in its fifth year, our comprehensive workplace HIV/AIDS program, StopAIDS, combines risk mitigation education with access to community-based care and treatment to keep healthy workers disease-free and educate HIV-positive workers on how to live safely with the illness. ExxonMobil does not test for HIV and HIV status is not a factor in determining an employee’s ability to work.

Throughout our operations, we analyze existing population data on the prevalence of HIV to understand local risk factors for HIV transmission in the general population; as well as the capacity of local and national health services infrastructure to support the diagnosis, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS; and determine the level of access to care provided to employees and families via company health plans.

In 2008, ExxonMobil affiliates in:

• Angola conducted 16 workplace training sessions; three community training sessions; and nine employee events, such as HIV/AIDS Family Day;
• Cameroon assisted over 1200 women and parents with AIDS in the Nyon District hospital, through direct employee contributions and matched funds from the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company; and,
• Indonesia established a committee to conduct a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Survey; blood-borne disease awareness sessions; and a workplace gap assessment within ExxonMobil facilities in Aceh, Jakarta, and Cepu.
