This paper analyzes the substantial growth of the popular focus on AIDS as a public problem in South Africa. The authors find that everyday experiences with AIDS, rather than any increase in attention by the news media, offer the best explanation of the rise in public attention to AIDS. The authors also find that popular constituency calling for increased levels of government commitment of resources to fighting HIV/AIDS is growing.
