 AB    The purpose of this study was to identify major communication barriers
       between health professionals and patients infected with HIV. Information
       from 17 experts on AIDS across Spain was gathered using the Delphi
       technique. A total of 24 barriers were identified and compounded into
       groups in relation to the provider, the patient, the message and the
       context wherein the communication process takes place. Major
       communication barriers were associated to the lacking of specific skills
       on the provider's side and to certain health professional's and patient
       attitudes towards each other and from both towards some emotional
       aspects related to AIDS.
