Summary
The advent of the internet and social media heralds a new era for communication. With increased communication occurring through social media (SM), advocacy has been adapted for the social media era. HIV advocacy and communication within the HIV epidemic has quickly proven instrumental in increasing funding and raising awareness of the disease.
