GEMS has an effective HIV/AIDS Disease Management Programme (DMP) for its members.
Will information be kept confidential?
This programme is managed by a team of healthcare professionals separately from other Scheme programmes and the employer. The HIV/AIDS DMP has its own confidential telephone, fax and private mailbag facilities. Special care is taken to maintain confidentiality.
What benefits are available?
People who were accidentally exposed to HIV can call 0860 436 736 so that appropriate treatment, called post-exposure prophylaxis, can be arranged.
