"This book, containing 17 chapters from health communication scholars both in the U.S. and abroad, is expressly concerned with media-related aspects of AIDS. Whether that media is print, electronic, and/or visual, they lie at the heart of understanding the messages we have, or perhaps have not, received about AIDS. This book addresses the invaluable role of communication in terms of HIV/AIDS pandemic." (Publisher description)
