- Summary:
-
A questionnaire dealing with knowledge about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and how it is communicated, with behavior involving risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and with public policy for dealing with AIDS was completed by 1,259 Canadian adults. Canadians had a generally high level of knowledge about the transmission of HIV infection, about the distinction between HIV infection and AIDS, and about the efficacy of different methods to prevent the transmission of HIV. Most information about HIV infection and AIDS came through the mass media. Canadians were strongly accepting of the wide involvement of a broad range of health, governmental, and voluntary organizations in promoting AIDS education. Concern about AIDS had led to significant changes in the sexual practices of respondents which in turn have reduced the likelihood of HIV transmission. Respondents were strongly supportive of the rights of HIV-infected persons to freedom from discrimination, and believed these rights should be protected by law. Only a small minority expressed opinions suggesting they fear that casual contact would lead to HIV infection. (Results are reported in chapters 2 through 5 of this report; the first chapter describes study objectives and survey procedures and the sixth and last chapter provides conclusions and recommendations; 39 data tables are included.)
