"HIV/AIDS program managers and PLHIV are the most aware of and most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and have a unique sensitivity to how HIV/AIDS is depicted in the media. The purposes of the surveys were to: 1. Document the perceptions of PLHIV and HIV/AIDS program managers on news media coverage of HIV/AIDS; 2. Investigate the working relationship between PLHIV, HIV/AIDS program managers and the media; 3. Complement existing studies (single country and regional) on HIV/AIDS and the media; 4. Gather informed suggestions for program development. This report analyzes responses of more than 130 PLHIV leaders and 200 HIV/AIDS program managers from more than 44 countries." (Page 3)
