ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The mining industry having been identified as a particularly vulnerable sector to the potentially devastating effects of HIV and AIDS, it became clear that proper management thereof is essential if we are to mitigate these. Two-hundred-and-seventy-nine of the 720 patient files from the mine‟s wellness clinic were reviewed for clinical appropriateness. These files were scrutinised to evaluate adherence to treatment guidelines. The review was conducted using the wellness clinic‟s treatment guidelines, adapted from the South African HIV Clinicians Society (SAHIVCS) 2008 guidelines asking the four questions: “when to start therapy”, “what therapy to start”, “co-existence of other illnesses”, “when to change therapy”. The guidelines were largely adhered to as far as starting the right type of therapy at the right time. “When to start therapy” was adhered to in 97.1 percent of the cases, “when to start” in 99.6 percent. However evaluation of “co-existence of other illnesses” came in at a rather low figure of 45.5 percent. Although the need for change of therapy was very low (2.5 percent), 57.5 percent of those who needed a change in therapy were prolonged on failing regimens for periods of more than three months. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die mynindustrie in Suid-Afrika is as 'n uiters kwesbare sektor geïdentifiseer en behoorlike bestuur van hierdie sektor is van kritieke belang in die suksesvolle bestuur van MIV/Vigs in Suid-Afrika. Die mediese inligting van 279 pasiënte is vir die doel van die studie ontleed en die mate waartoe pasiënte getrou hou by behandelingsriglyne is in die studie ge-evalueer. Die ontleding was gebasseer op die 2008 welwees kliniese riglyne van die South African HIV Clinicians Society (SAHIVCS). Die studie bevind dat pasiënte in 'n groot mate by die kliniese riglyne gehou het en dat die datum waarop met behandeling begin is in bykans 97% van die gevalle ooreenkomstig die riglyne was. Die grootste bron van kommer was die groot relatief groot aantal gevalle waar die invloed van ander siektetoestande nie behoorlik in ag geneem is nie en die MIV/Vigs medikasie nie dienooreenkomstig aangepas is nie. Voorstelle word in die studie gemaak vir aksies wat geneem behoort te word om 'n groter mate van voldoening aan die riglyne te bewerkstellig.
