- W1654042141 abstract "This special issue of WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation is devoted to an exploration of issues related to employment in persons living with HIV/AIDS. It is estimated that at the end of 2003 there were more than 37.8 million persons living with HIV/AIDS worldwide [5] and that over 1 million of these persons resided in the United States [6]. Moreover, it is estimated that more that 40,000 additional persons become infected with HIV each year [3]. It is now a little over a decade since the introduction of new pharmacological treatments that lead to the commonly used highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). In that time, AIDS has been transformed from a fatal illness to a chronic one. Persons living with HIV/AIDS, often diagnosed in the first few decades of their lives, may now face decades more of life while managing the illness. Increasing numbers of persons are living with the disabling aspects of the disease and numerous associated conditions continue that pose challenges to occupational participation [11, 13,16]. Like any potentially disabling condition, the ramifications of living with HIV/AIDS go far beyond those of a medical nature. Increasingly, the population of persons with HIV/AIDS consists of women, persons of color, and persons who have poor social supports and limited education and financial resources. Additionally, many persons living with HIV/AIDS also struggle with the challenges associated with mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness and other co-morbid conditions. This population is also characterized by low economic status, limited education, and limited work experience [9,10,15]. Not surprisingly, then, people with HIV/AIDS struggle to overcome significant challenges that affect their abilities to live independently and return to the workforce. Obtaining and maintaining employment is a major and ongoing obstacle faced by persons with all types of disabilities. Ten years after the introduction of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) the US Census Bureau estimated that according to the 2000 census figures only 56.6 percent of working-age Americans with disabilities were employed compared with 77.2 percent of non-disabled Americans [17]. Over the last decade, increased attention has been paid to assisting persons living with HIV/AIDS to obtain and maintain employment as a means to live independently in their communities and to foster the physical, mental and social benefits that come with improved socio-economic status. Efforts have included educational and other forms of programming funded by the Federal government as well as by non-profit and private agencies around the country [4,7,11,18]. Additionally, coalitions of researchers, programmers, consumers and administrators of AIDS service organizations have formed in the U.S., Canada, and other nations to share information and strategies for facilitating successful return to work by persons living with HIV/AIDS. For example, the National Working Positive Coalition (NWPC) promotes research, development and implementation of effective practices in employment services for persons living with HIV/AIDS [14]. The NWPC grew out of the Working Positive Summit Conference, which was convened in Philadelphia in April, 2003 to compile in-" @default.
