Abstract: A descriptive questionnaire-based study was undertaken among staff in tertiary institutions in the Eastern Cape Province. The objective of the study was to explore perceived HIV/AIDS impact on duties at work, staff morale, job satisfaction and workload among a proportionate sample of 872 employees in eight randomly selected tertiary institutions. The results of the study showed that HIV/AIDS impacts negatively on duties at work, lowers staff morale and increases staff workload.
