HIV & Social Security Law comprises a collection of conference papers from representatives of the ILO, the SADC Tribunal and academics from different universities in the SADC region. They assess the extent to which national governments have enacted measures to deal with HIV-related issues in the domains of labour law, health law, social protection and social security law. The legal situation in the EU is included as an example.
