HIV/AIDS IN RELATION TO THESE THEORIES

DIFFUSSION INNOVATION THEORY: the theory can help the Nigerian situation in that when these media message preaching against unsafe sex are continually repeated in the media or through other forms of information dissemination, eventually there will be a higher level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS

AGENDA SETTING THEORY: since in this case, the media indirectly dictates to the public what to think, this theory can be used to the advantage by helping the people think more about safe sex or/and abstinence so the rate of HIV/AIDS infection can be drastically reduced

HEALT BELIEF THEORY I belief that if people are educated about the risks of unsafe sex and the benefits of abstinence and about all other tenets that the theory upholds, Nigerians' will have a rethink before engaging in illicit sex

DEVELOPMENT MEDIA THEORY: the media in this case should be dedicated to the development of the country in that if there are no healthy people there will be no development and so the media should be geared towards educating the people on how to positively avoid this disease and wit the knowledge we will have healthy people and wit healthy people ewe will have a developed country
