| dc.description.abstract | This is a book about the importance of talk. Talk may be the most important component to HIV prevention and treatment. When people do not talk to their partners about the behaviors that can transmit HIV and other diseases, let alone their known or unknown HIV statuses, they will not talk about HIV prevention methods. When researchers do not talk to laypeople about their findings, we cannot put those findings into practice. When people from various disciplines who conduct HIV/AIDS research do not share their findings with one another, they potentially prevent the joint use of effective strategies that can help others. A few years ago, I left a meeting of NIH grantees and told one of the scientists that I was headed for a national communication conference. This woman, a psychology professor, expressed her surprise that there were a sufficient number of people conducting communication research to have a conference about it. I informed her that the association had thousands of members, and that there were communication professors at countless colleges and universities. This story is not a recruitment message; it demonstrates that communication researchers must continue to disseminate their findings on HIV/AIDS to other AIDS researchers from other disciplines. | |
