SALCEDO, Juan Pablo; TOVAR, Luis Miguel  y  ARRIVILLAGA, Marcela. Contributions by the International Labor Organization to the working context of the HIV/AIDS people. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.4, pp. 708-717. ISSN 0864-3466.

This article reflected on the contributions by the International Labor Organization to the working context of the people living with HIV/AIDS. Various moments since 1988 were shown when it began to be admitted worldwide that this infection would significantly affect the working force; in 2010, an international standard was issued. Although the role of the International Labor Organization was assessed as positive, more efforts are still needed so that the countries could generally make progress in recognizing the productive capacity of the people with this infection, and the most vulnerable subgroups such as women could be included. At local level, it is necessary to promote research studies on the working world of the HIV/AIDS persons, with a perspective based on social rights and determination.

Palabras clave : HIV/AIDS; work; stigma; discrimination.
