Abstract
This paper examines one hundred and nineteen businesses in Ghana in order to gauge their perceptions of and responses to the fundamental challenges posed by HIV/AIDS and malaria. It seeks to establish the ‘real’ and perceived levels of incidence; assess their economic and social impacts in terms of productivity, employment and staffing levels, efficiency etc; and analyze what - if anything – is being done to curtail their presence and spread
