Abstract
Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has already devastated the population of four African countries and is a recognized world health problem. Meaning ascribed to AIDS delimit the ground for the planning and practice of prevention education. The popular media is an important agent of informal education about AIDS, and analysis of magazines and items in daily newspapers suggested that several themes have permeated popular discourse. There has been a gay plague discourse, a contaminated other discourse, an innocent victim discourse, a heterosexual-risk discourse and, most recently, a development discourse on AIDS. Adult educators who work in nonformal or formal educational settings have to understand the various constructions of AIDS before knowledge can be used to promote effective practice for learners.
