Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the issue of reporting about AIDS in the popular press, using the example of the Jana magazine. During the period under consideration (1984–1995), this publication was the most popular magazine of this kind in Slovenia. Despite its commercial and popular character, its reporting was instrumental in shaping public opinion and normalising the discourse on what was then still an incurable infectious disease.
