520			_aThere is a tendency for health education, particularly education and communication about AIDS, to be controversial. Sometimes a public statement can signal a possible educational controversy with significant social implications. A newspaper report in October 1998 echoed the Chief Medical Officer's statement that there were 35 deaths from AIDS each month in Trinidad and Tobago. This paper explores potentially controversal AIDS education and communication issues described by medical students views on the incidence of AIDS in Trinidad and Tobago and their approach to educating a young person about AIDS. The findings indicate that from an educational perspective, medical students, who may be regarded as future health professionals emphasis socioeconomic factors and a view of education as information giving. From a communication perspective the most common concern among six issues cited was will perceptions. Students views about a suitable approach were characterized in terms of four main goals, twelve types of focuses or emphasis, and four key aspects of the communication process. The implication of these findings are discussed in relation to the medical education curriculum and public health communications efforts about AIDS targeted at youth.
