"Communication is a key factor in halting the spread of HIV/AIDS"

The quantity and scope of HIV/AIDS interventions implemented by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs (CCP) is growing rapidly in response to requests from the field. The Center provides strategic communication expertise to design, implement, monitor and evaluate HIV/AIDS communication programs. About one quarter of the Center's annual budget is spent addressing HIV/AIDS through a variety of strategies and interventions.
