Business Case

The Global Impact of HIV
Sub-Saharan Africa Nowhere is the impact of
HIV/AIDS currently more apparent than in sub-Saharan Africa
Chevron is the largest U.S.-based investor in sub-Saharan Africa
Trends in HIV Prevalence
Age Impact HIV primarily strikes people
in the 20-40 year-old age group
HIV threatens to reverse positive economic and developmental strides made over the past decade.
At Risk Populations
China and India are showing the fastest increases in HIV prevalence in the world
India currently has the second largest number of citizens living with HIV
Women represent more than half of those living with HIV
Girls in high prevalence countries are more likely to be HIV+ than male counterparts

Corporate Responsibility
Corporate responsibility addresses the key issues that affect our employees and the communities where we operate.
We believe multinational companies are important in the global effort to fight HIV and other infectious diseases.
Helping to combat HIV/AIDS is one of the clearest examples of how long-term business interests and commitment to corporate responsibility are intrinsically linked.

What Is It and Why Is It Important?
The purpose of assessing the situation is to:
Understand the gaps between the health threat posed by HIV/AIDS and current resources available for education, counseling, testing and treatment;
Assess HIV/AIDS treatment needs and resources in the country/region/work location;
Identify specific implementation areas needing attention to ensure resources are put to best use in each work site location.
Process:
Gather data already available
Estimate HIV incidence and HIV/AIDS prevalence rates for country
Identify on-site/local medical facilities required for VCT, care, and treatment
Identify potential external partners for policy implementation
Record any assumptions that had to be made because of data limitations
Analyze data and draw conclusions
Set priorities for developing the work location action plan

Corporate Responsibility
Through business operations, companies impact
communities – for heavy industries:
•Increase in economic activity, employment and
construction (in remote locations)
•Migrant workforce, social disruption, altered
population dynamics (new production facilities,
refineries etc.)
•Transport of goods and materials (trucking routes)
