AB OBJECTIVES: To understand if early death due to HIV infection has any
impact on social benefits provide to employees family on private sector.
METHODS: We used a previously identified cohort of HIV positive
(ELISA/Western Blot) employees (n = 90) and selected a seronegative
control cohort of equal size, individually matched by age, sex and
grade. After a five years period from 1988 to 1993 we collected these
data: duration of employment, mortality rate, education level, family
size and social benefits. RESULTS: the most important social benefits
given to employees family were medical care and a monthly wages rate
equal to 75% of the employee salary which were distributed to the spouse
until death or only medical care to infants until 18 years old. These
advantages were possible only if the employees worked for 25 years
(manager) or 20 years (subordinate). Mean duration of employment was 12
years for cases and 16 years for control. The annual mortality rate was
6% for cases and 0% for controls. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The most
important this study suggest is the longer the duration of employment,
the bigger the volume of social benefits. Many HIV(+) employees family
will loss advantages due to honourable career, especially about medical
care which must be offered by many large firms. This will dramatically
affect them because gross national product ($100 and insurance almost
non-existent. Other studies will be conduct to see what is done in other
firms.
