Abstract
This essay comments on articles in this special issue on HIV and AIDS in the context of social and personal relationships. Specifically, it argues that active communication about sex and condom use and equally vigorous communication regarding HIV-treatment issues is required to reduce HIV transmissions and to facilitate its treatment. In particular, the articles demonstrate that undereducated, impoverished individuals may require more active and instructional case management than their more informed and affluent counterparts.Keywords
