Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that
the USA is making progress in
fighting AIDS,
but they don’t know there’s no cure and strongly
disagree that “the AIDS epidemic(流行病)is over,”
a new
survey finds.
The findings,
released Thursday by the Kaiser Family
Foundation, reassure activists who have
worried
that public concern about AIDS
might disappear in light of
recent news about
advances in treatment and
declines in
deaths.
”While people are very optimistic
about the advances,
they’re still realistic
about the fact that there is no cure” says
Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the
foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent
USA TODAY Gallup Poll,
does find that the
number of people
ranking AIDS as the
country’s top health problem has
fallen. In
the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it’s the top
concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the
Gallup Poll,
29% say
AIDS in , down from 41% in
1992 and
67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser,
which polled more than 1,200
adults in
September and October and asked additional
questions
of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress
against AIDS, up
from 32% in 1995.
52%
say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen
lives; an
equal number correctly say that the
drugs are not cures.
67% incorrectly say
that AIDS deaths increased or stayed
the same
in the past year; 24% know deaths fell.
Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council,
says,
“I’m encouraged that the American people
are
getting the message that the AIDS
epidemic isn’t over. I
hope the decision-
makers in Washington are
getting the same
message… We have seen signs of
complacency(自鸣得意).
