The New Age comes to terms with HIV terminology
JournAIDS
7 July 2011
An article about a study which claims to have found a link between some ARVs and premature ageing in The New Age has used the correct HIV and AIDS related terminology in the correct context.
Gone are the references to AIDS, as if it is identical to HIV. The article uses the term HIV to refer to the virus and HIV-positive to refer to people who have the virus.
The article also scores points for not writing HIV and AIDS as HIV/AIDS, or making use of the strange HIV-AIDS combination that has recently cropped up in the print media.
