ABSTRACT
The main focus of
this work has been an x-ray on the use of public relations strategies to fight
the scourge HJV/AJDS in Abia state. A study of ABSACA. The work shows the need
of public relation strategies to be employed in the fight against HIY/AIIDS
scourge and the bodies in-charge of fighting the disease in Abia state. This
work located the various ways one• can be infected with the disease and examine
how it can be prevented. To solve the research problem both primary and
secondary data were collected. The research instrument used, in collecting the
data was questionnaires while the respondents comprised of both the senior
staff of ABSACA and the public in the state (Umuahia, Urnudike and inhabitants
of MOUAU). In organizing and presenting data collected, tables, frequencies and
percentages were used. The various hypothesis were tested using the chi-square
as the statistical tool. A major finding is that public relation strategies
were employed in the fight against the scourge I-IIV/AIDS in Abia State and
that the bodies in charge of the fight are equipped with information on AIDS
but lacks the ability to transfer information to the people due to lack of
training, inability to convey the message in the dialect and inadequate funds,
it is therefore recommended that public relations officers should be trained in
the dialect of the people or an educated translator should be sought, 'for
effective communication, also, the public relations officers should adopt
method which are more practical oriented. Additionally government should
sponsor a proper funding and that they should provide public relations offices
with instrument to visual display in all they would have communicated in words.
