Thanks to today's powerful prevention and treatment tools, ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. is finally within reach. However, fear, misinformation, and uneven access to care keep many people from getting tested and accessing the care that they need.

Given that nine in 10 people with HIV are of working age, employers have a key role to play in closing those gaps.

That’s why we’ve updated our resource, "Empowering HR Leaders: A Checklist for HIV in the Workplace." This free, downloadable guide aims to help HR and benefits leaders ensure their policies, education efforts, and health plans are keeping pace with today’s best practices and legal requirements.

The refreshed checklist highlights key actions employers can take across three areas:

• Education: Equip managers and employees with accurate, up-to-date information.
• Policies: Ensure legal compliance while protecting employee privacy and preventing discrimination.
• Benefits: Make it easier for employees to access HIV testing, prevention, and care.

Whether you're just getting started or ready to strengthen your company's HIV response, this checklist can help you determine your next steps.
