- Summary:
- HIV and AIDS hit hardest among people in their most productive years, ages 15-24. Indias booming and talented workforce is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the virus as people become more mobile, lifestyles change, and disposable incomes rise. This is important since young adults are the driving force behind Indias impressive growth today and its potential growth and prosperity in the coming years. The government of India has taken significant measures to curb the spread of HIV, but much remains to be done. Businesses can play an important part, particularly in HIV prevention but also in care and treatment of AIDS patients.
