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 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 is No.1, 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. 51% 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.

What do activists worry about？

A．Recent news about AIDS is not tree.

B．People may stop worrying about AIDS.

C．Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.

D．Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.

lacking a care for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncementbut

lacking a care for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice, they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a "bravado(冒险心理)"that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society already short on humbanism, open--handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted(教唆)by pre--existing social ills. Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university--level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims: To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or social collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster(help the growth of) the idea of a humane society.

To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests.

The economy, the political system, science, the legal Establishment, the media and our moral ethical--philosophical attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered, or shrieked, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry(挂毯)of modern society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bring about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public debate in spried by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS？ Even more basic, who shall formulate a national policy on AIDS？ The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten(启发)the individual and the social, or public , responses to AIDS.

What is the passage mainly about？

A．Why education must be offered about AIDS.

B．How to achieve the aims of AIDS courses.

C．Risks associated with AIDS.

D．Social responses to AIDS.
