What is BRTA?
Business Responds to AIDS (BRTA) is a free public-private partnership initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that supports small, medium and large-size businesses with tailored resources and tools of effective workplace programs and human resource (HR) policies to reduce stigma and prevent discrimination against employees living with HIV.
