The effectiveness of communication channels on the enlightenment of HIV/AIDS campaign cannot be overemphasised in the fight against the disease and poor access to conventional information media may undermine the struggle. It was in order to provide empirical basis for communication support for this endeavour that this study investigated HIV/AIDS and use media in Yauri emirate of Kainji lake basin. A total of 187 respondents were sampled in ten fishing communities for data collection through the use of questionnaires and further subjected to descriptive analysis. Findings from the study reveal that 84.5% of the respondents had their primary occupation in fisheries related activities and only 15.5% were into skilled labour (such as welding, carpentry) and trading in other products. 98.4% of the respondents at one time or the other had heard about the disease but had not translated to the knowledge on mode of transmission. Majority (63.1%) of the respondents heard of HIV/AIDS on the radio, 1.1% heard through NGOs and only 6.4% through television received HIV/AIDS information. Some recommendations were made because of the vulnerability of fishing communities to HIV/AIDS |
