This section highlights the steps taken by former South African President Thabo Mbeki to deal with the issue of HIV. It was during this era that HIV activists and civil disobedience forced the government to take a serious look at the disease and the impact it was going to have on South Africa.
The project is jointly managed by the Anova Health Institute and the Journalism and Media Studies Programme at the University of the Witwatersrand, and supported by the Health Communication Partnership based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Centre for Communication Programmes and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS relief through the United States Agency for International Development under terms of Award No. JH/HESA-02-05.
We review local media coverage of HIV and support South African media practitioners covering HIV issues. Whether you’re a journalist, script writer or radio producer, here you’ll find the information and contacts you need to produce healthy media. The website is maintained by the HIV & AIDS Media Project.
