Abstract
Conversational practices related to talk about future in AIDS counselling are analysed in this paper. A particular type of questioning is examined, where the counsellor's description of a hypothetical future situation is followed by an enquiry focusing on the patient's fears or ways of coping in this particular Situation. It is argued that a favorable conversational environment and management of the epistemological framework of the discourse are key factors facilitating the patients' answers to such questions. The observations are tied with discussion about construction of 'reality' in conversation.
