Overview

AIDS awareness refers to organized education and communication efforts that increase public understanding of HIV transmission, prevention, testing, treatment, and the support needs of people living with HIV and AIDS. Its purpose is to translate accurate knowledge into protective behaviour, reduce new infections, encourage timely testing and linkage to care, and counter the stigma and discrimination that impede prevention and treatment. Effective awareness addresses how HIV is and is not transmitted, the value of condoms and pre-exposure prophylaxis, the importance of voluntary counselling and testing and self-testing, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy, while tailoring messages to the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of specific populations. Adolescents, students, mobile workers, and other key groups are frequent targets because behaviour and beliefs formed early shape lifelong risk. Research relevant to this area examines knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward HIV among secondary and tertiary students, truck drivers, and rural adolescents, the use of sport and community platforms for prevention messaging, barriers and facilitators to HIV self-testing, status disclosure, and consistent condom use, and the theoretical frameworks that guide work with affected communities. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies on HIV and AIDS awareness, prevention education, and the behavioural and social determinants of risk and protection.
