Attitudes to AIDS Now

Most people say that the USA is making progressin fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagreethat "the AIDS epidemic is over," a new survey finds.

The findings, released Thursday by the KaiserFamily Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concernabout AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatmentand declines in deaths.

"While people are very optimistic about theadvances, 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 TODAYGallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country'stop health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38% say it's the topconcern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS inNo.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.

Other findings from Kaiser, which polled morethan 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions ofanother 1,000 adults in November:

52% say the country is making progress againstAIDS, up from 32% in 1995.

52% say the government spends too little onAIDS.

86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthenlives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.

67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increasedor stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell.

Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS ActionCouncil, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting themessage that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers inWashington are getting the same message… We have seensigns of complacency.
