Kaiser Family Foundation (2009) Reporting Manual on HIV/AIDS.

The manual has been designed for journalists who are covering the global epidemic for the first time and for those who have covered it previously. Subjects covered include special material about AIDS in Latin America, the unique challenges of reporting on HIV/AIDS, treatment and prevention strategies, key figures in the struggle against HIV/AIDS and global efforts to finance the campaign against HIV/AIDS. As the epidemic can also be a battle about ideas, cultural taboos, stigma and discrimination, the guide also includes information about the political and social aspects of the epidemic and provide journalists with guidance about navigating these issues effectively.
