HIV Media Communication
 for Australian Young People

Welcome to the Effective communication about HIV/AIDS/STD in young people research project !
 

In the absence of a vaccine and cure for AIDS, educating people on how to protect themselves from infection is one of the most potent strategy in preventing the spread of HIV. HIV/AIDS/STI education can be presented in many ways and put across by many forms of media.

Our research group at the Faculty of Health Sciences in the University of Sydney are conducting a survey concerning the role of media in communication and education of young people about HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections).

The main purpose of this study is to examine the most appropriate media to communicate with and educate young adults in Australia about HIV/AIDS/STI in different situations.

The study is being conducted by Mr. Abdalvahed Razaghi and will form the basis for the degree of PhD under the supervision of Dr. Ian Hughes, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences, the University of Sydney.
