Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they do know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(疫病)is over," a new sur-vey 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 a-bout 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 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 ques- tions of another 1,000 adults in November: 52% say the country is making progress a-gainst 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 A-merican people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over.I hope the deci-sion-makers in Washington are getting the same message.We have seen signs of compla-cency. "

Need for Emphasis on Treatment
AIDS programs in developing countries put little emphasis on treatment, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people.
An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS, two-thirds of them in Africa, but only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003, the UN health agency said in its annual report.
"Without treatment, all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death," the WHO said in the t69-page World Health Report.
WHO Director General Lee Jong wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease prevention and care for suffers in AIDS programs.
"Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease," Lee said.
"By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of to- day and tomorrow. This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss, "he adds.
Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer. The annual cost of treatment, which was about $ 10,000 when the drugs were first developed, has dropped to about $150.
Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts, the report said, citing great demands for testing and counseling where treatment has been made available.
Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected, and significantly reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection, the report said.
Since its discovery in 1980s, more than 20 million have died of AIDS, mostly in poor countries.
