Chinese HIV/AIDS Media Discourse Analysis from 2010 to 2024

A corpus of news articles published between 2010 and 2024 analyzing media discourse on HIV/AIDS in China. The dataset, created by Yuhang Li and last updated in 2026, employs topic modeling and collocation analysis to identify thematic communities, terminology for people living with HIV, and conceptual metaphors. It reveals a discursive shift towards political narratives and the persistence of stigmatizing language.

Use Cases

• Analyze thematic evolution in HIV/AIDS media coverage based on the identified five major thematic communities.
• Study stigmatizing language patterns based on the 19 categories of PLHIV terminology.
• Examine conceptual framing of disease based on the 12 categories of HIV/AIDS metaphors.
• Investigate relationships between discursive strategies and thematic contexts using Multiple Correspondence Analysis results.

Strengths

• Covers a 14-year time range from 2010 to 2024.
• Identifies 5 thematic communities encompassing 48 distinct topics.
• Analyzes 19 categories of PLHIV terminology and 12 categories of HIV/AIDS metaphors.

Limitations

• Dataset size is very small at 5.5 KB, suggesting limited raw data or highly aggregated results.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
