HIV and AIDS raise many communication challenges as they
touch on all aspects of life. Issues range from personal identity and
sexuality, to how we understand morality and disease, to the social problems
of stigma and discrimination.
The pandemic has seen courageous and creative responses
from people living with HIV and AIDS, and those living with the social
impact. The communication approaches that have been developed to tackle
HIV and AIDS hold lessons for us all.
