BRTA, which was introduced by satellite teleconference, encourages business and labor leaders in US communities to develop comprehensive workplace HIV-prevention education programs.<sup>3</sup>This report describes BRTA and summarizes the response— from December 1, 1992, through February 5,1993—to the launch of the national program. BRTA is a public and private collaboration (involving business, labor, health, and AIDS service organizations) comprised of five components: 1) policy development; 2) training for supervisors and union leaders; 3) HIV education for employees; 4) HIV education for employees' families; and 5) community service and employee volunteerism.
