Does the Indian newspaper media construct the problem of HIV/AIDS

I am a media student at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London and am interested in understanding how the newspaper medium in India is portraying AIDS. The title of my project is 'How does the Indian newspaper media construct the problem of HIV/AIDS in the country', in effect asking what kinds of metaphors, patterns of expression, and so on, are being used in the press. Also, from my cursory search on the internet, it appears that HIV related news stories are few and far between in the national press. Has AIDS reporting ever contributed to a 'moral panic' in the country? Are there any reliable statistics to suggest that AIDS does not effect a 'particular class' of people?

I would greatly appreciate any inputs or suggestions that anyone might have.
