ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency of statements about population susceptibility and threat severity of HIV/AIDS. Using a coding scheme derived from the Extended Parallel Process Model, we analyzed 219 articles of World AIDS Day news coverage from 1988 through 2017. Our results show that while susceptibility did change over time, coverage minimized the impact the disease has had on men who have sex with men (MSM).

Notes
1 The researchers understand and agree with the limitations of the term “MSM” (Halkitis Citation2013) but nonetheless use it to be consistent with the CDC and NIH.
