According to the epidemiological surveillance system, HIV cases were found to be on the rise until 2019; the predominant mode of transmission is sexual, and it largely affects the economically active population. In addition, in the surveys related to the knowledge and attitudes of the population in relation to HIV, it is possible to glimpse that there are still risky sexual behaviors that, added to vulnerability factors, represent a public health problem that cannot be left solely in the hands of from the Ministry of Health for its social repercussions; particularly, in labor relations, people due to HIV have difficulties accessing employment and staying in their job. In this context, it is necessary to impose on the employer special positive duties consisting of adopting measures to prevent, treat, care for and support workers who are vulnerable, living with or affected by HIV, with its characteristics and limitations; which is justified in the principle-duty of solidarity. By reviewing the sources of international law, the business sector has been included in the global strategy to respond to HIV, through soft law instruments. However, in Peruvian legislation, there are reasons to support the existence and enforceability of such duties; although a series of gaps and shortcomings have been identified for its effective application, which must be overcome with the progress made in the internal order and international protection standards. In turn, these can be used to resolve conflicts that generate the application of some measures with the fundamental rights of workers.
