 | AngloGold, South Africa's largest gold mining company and a subsidiary of British mining company Anglo American, on Wednesday began distributing antiretroviral drugs to a few of its HIV-positive employees, |
| As the "first step" in Anglo American's plan to distribute the drugs free of charge to all HIV-positive staff in Southern Africa, AngloGold on Wednesday gave three of its HIV-positive employees the treatment. |
| Although AngloGold officials estimate that 25% to 30% of its 40,000 employees are HIV-positive, it estimates that not all employees will want to be tested for HIV and that not all HIV-positive workers will need antiretroviral treatment immediately. |
