Corporations responce to AIDS

Anglo American's HIV page. In their case they have to combat it . If they don't they'll lose almost 40% of their workforce.

It must have been horrible for De Beers, Anglo-American and the rest of the lot to watch how Subsaharan Africa went into complete disarray *overnight*.
