This study sees the role of media in creating HIV/AIDS awareness among the self-help group members in the city of Chennai. HIV/AIDS prevention cannot be viewed as a onetime intervention. This book analyses that the awareness programmes for rural areas that too among uneducated women is lacking more in India and especially in villages of Tamil Nadu. We see that they are the passive victims for no cause of their own. Another factor specially suffered by the HIV/AIDS affected uneducated women in rural areas is poverty. Unlike in Africa, we see the reported cases of HIV/AIDS in rural areas in India are higher than in urban areas. “You are not alone,” self-help group members are with you” has been the core element of this research. Participants were interviewed regarding their demographic characteristics, sexual behaviours, and medical history. Amazing and disturbing findings are recorded in the book. About the Author Prof. S.
