This section demystifies ethical HIV/AIDS journalism by applying the basic principles of ethical reporting to the epidemic.

Once you have learnt about the ethics of AIDS journalism, see how these principles are enforced by the media. Take a look at the SAEF Guiding Principles and study the South African Union of Journalists (SAUJ) AIDS Policy.
