World AIDS Day 2016: Delivering multicultural HIV messages

Worldwide

Broadcast – 29 November 2016

World AIDS Day has been held on December 1 every year since 1988. It is dedicated to raising awareness of HIV and AIDS, while remembering those who have died.

Since the first cases of what is now known as AIDS in the early 1980s, globally about 35 million people have died from HIV/AIDS and more than that again are living with HIV/AIDS.

Each year is a different theme and this year’s theme in Australia is a warning shot – HIV is still here – and it’s on the move.

• What are the added challenges of delivering HIV prevention programs to migrants and refugees?
• What are the barriers and rewards to delivering HIV programs to these new Australians?
• And what is it about international students that makes them an important target for HIV messages?

To take a look at HIV through a multicultural lens, we speak with Alison Coelho from the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health based here in Melbourne.
