Recognition of the extent and consequences of HIV/AIDS in Africa has resulted in many large scale health promotion programmes. These programmes usually provide information about how to avoid contracting HIV as well as information to dispel false beliefs about the virus. However there also exist anti-health promotion ideas about HIV/AIDS which often challenge the very premises on which health promotion messages are based. Such anti-health promotion ideas may represent reassuring benefits and these are likely to vary not only across cultures but also between different communities and 'at risk' groups within the same culture. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a participative exercise which can be used with small groups to achieve a consensus concerning which anti-health promotion ideas are most influential in terms of encouraging people to ignore health promoting messages. The application of the NGT is illustrated with a group of Malawian students.
对非洲艾滋病毒/艾滋病的范围和后果的认识催生了许多大规模的健康促进项目。这些项目通常会提供有关如何避免感染艾滋病毒的信息，以及消除对该病毒错误认知的信息。然而，关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病也存在一些反健康促进观念，这些观念常常挑战健康促进信息所基于的前提。此类反健康促进观念可能代表着令人安心的益处，而且这些益处不仅可能因文化而异，在同一文化中的不同社区和“高危”群体之间也可能有所不同。名义群体技术（NGT）是一种参与性活动，可用于小群体，就哪些反健康促进观念在鼓励人们忽视健康促进信息方面最具影响力达成共识。本文通过一组马拉维学生展示了名义群体技术的应用。
