abstract
The representation of HIV/AIDS in the media has fluctuated since the first reported case in 1981. Unfortunately, it has been overwhelmingly depicted as a disease of the Other. This study examines the history of HIV/AIDS in the media and how its representation effects public perception. Additionally, the study shows how several other countries have successfully used the media to their advantage in efforts to inform the public about HIV/AIDS, prevent transmission and combat stigma. Finally, the possible use of similar tactics in the United States is explored. note
