Abstract:
Because of advances in the treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), increased numbers of individuals infected with HIV are remaining in the work force longer. Ergonomists will be called upon soon to modify the work environment or job to allow these individuals to remain productive. Few data, however, exist that can help an ergonomist make such changes for HIV+ individuals. The ergonomist, therefore, either must extrapolate from existing data or collect relevant data. This paper addresses some of the issues that an ergonomist will confront when interpreting existing data or conducting research using HIV+ individuals.
