This reporting guide on HIV/AIDS (Spanish language) has been designed for journalists who are covering the epidemic for the first time and for those who have covered it previously. The Kaiser Family Foundation undertook this project as part of its continuing commitment to supporting good journalism and to combating HIV/AIDS through public education and awareness. The material covers a broad range of subjects including the unique challenges of reporting on HIV/AIDS, treatment and prevention strategies and key figures in the struggle against HIV/AIDS. The epidemic is not only a battle against a virus. It can also be a battle about ideas, cultural taboos, stigma and discrimination. For that reason, we have included information about the political and social aspects of the epidemic and provide journalists with guidance about navigating these issues effectively. This should be viewed as a reference guide. More in-depth sources of information on HIV/AIDS can be found at www.kff.org/hivaids/index.cfm, www.globalhealthreporting.org and www.globalhealthfacts.org. A link to animated material designed for television can be found at www.kff.org/mediafellows/toolshivreporting.cfm. This manual was last updated in July 2008.

Increasingly, we are working with journalists around the world, and as a result we are developing region-specific manuals adapted to address the issues most relevant to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in each region—and most relevant for journalists reporting in each region. These region-specific manuals are being translated into many different languages and may include content which is different from the Kaiser Family Foundation’s original content.
