Reporting HIV in Australia: Information for Journalists

Reporting HIV in Australia: Information for Journalists

HIV is a story of critical importance. All audiences deserve full, accurate and intelligent coverage of HIV and the media has a significant role to play.

This guide for journalists is the third revised edition of a booklet originally published as the HIV/AIDS Media Guide. It was launched on 18 June 2009 at Parliament House by Senator Louise Pratt.

It includes a language guide, facts about HIV and AIDS, backgrounders to the epidemic in Australia and globally, information about transmission, testing, treatment, prevention and legal regulation, as well as a guide to principles for reporting on HIV and AIDS.
