workplace HIV/AIDS Champain
In all honestly given the prevalence of HIV/ AIDS in Lesotho according to today’s statistics we should all be HIV/AIDS Champions. We should all as a society be making an effort to make sure that our brothers and sisters, or colleagues and bosses, our uncles and aunts, our neighbours in the city and the village are not only aware of the consequences of risky behaviour, but also behave in a manner that diminishes risk.
The HIV/AIDS Workplace Champion is the person trusted by the organisation to drive the HIV / AIDS campaign in the organisation. While many organisations might choose to have this as an HR responsibility, it is not only HR that can take on this responsibility.
Ideally an HIV/AIDS Champion is a person who has a more than normal interest in HIV. This person must have influence. An ability to trigger action in colleagues and have them listen is important for the Champion. The most important aspect of fighting the war against HIV / AIDS is behaviour change. Having a focal point person who has the respect of his or her colleagues goes a long way to building awareness and prompting behaviour change. This kind of influence also has the added advantage, giving everyone in the organisation ownership of any HIV / AIDS related activities.
