本文的目的是总结什么是已知的艾滋病毒/艾滋病公司在撒哈拉以南非洲英联邦国家的内部成本。即使不考虑外部（市场）因素，也有可能确定艾滋病毒/艾滋病在未来几年将给非洲公司带来的十几种不同类型的劳动力成本。在简要回顾了现有的艾滋病毒/艾滋病对企业成本的估计之后，我们提出了一个评估这些成本的模型，并描述了公司正在采取的一些降低成本的策略。虽然这些证据在很大程度上仍然是轶事，但很明显，公司在内部承担艾滋病预防和护理的一些费用的同时，将能够将许多艾滋病毒/艾滋病的内部成本转移给政府和家庭。这样做可能具有良好的商业意义，甚至是他们生存所必需的。(摘录)
The purpose of this paper is to summarize what is known about the internal costs of HIV/AIDS to companies in Commonwealth countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Even without considering external (market) factors it is possible to identify a dozen different types of workforce costs that HIV/AIDS will impose on African companies in the coming years. After briefly reviewing existing estimates of the costs of HIV/AIDS to business we present a model for assessing these costs and describe some of the strategies companies are adopting to reduce the costs. Although the evidence is still largely anecdotal it is clear that companies while bearing some of the costs of AIDS prevention and care internally will be able to shift many of the internal costs HIV/AIDS onto governments and households. Doing so may make sound business sense and even be necessary for their survival. (excerpt)
