美国人对艾滋病存在误解:认为它是一种耻辱

  华盛顿有3%居民感染艾滋病 比例接近西非

  美国一个卫生研究组织说,认为艾滋病是全国性严重健康问题的美国人并不多,还有很多人认为患艾滋病是一种耻辱。奥巴马政府计划发起一个新宣传活动,来解决对艾滋病的认知问题。

  一项新的健康问题调查显示,尽管种种迹象表明,艾滋病的传播情况不断恶化,但美国人近年来对这个问题越来越不关心了。

  医疗机构:对艾滋病威胁认识降低

  去年8月,美国疾病防治中心说,美国每年艾滋病感染病例,比过去认为的要高出百分之40。

  但是凯泽家庭基金会指出,只有百分之6的美国人认为,艾滋病是美国最严重的健康问题。而1995年,这个比率是百分之44。

  凯瑟家庭基金会总裁德鲁·奥尔特曼最近在华盛顿说,他们的这项研究显示,在艾滋病问题上,满足现状的民众正在慢慢增多:

  “对于艾滋病的紧迫感正在降低,对这项传染病的关注也在降低。因此所有的箭头都指向错误的一端。我们希望看见它们回到正确的方向。这是一个难题,也是一项挑战。”

  凯瑟家庭基金的这份报告,是在今年1月下旬到3月初对全美2千5百名成人的电话询问的基础上做出的。

  调查:美国人对艾滋病仍有误解

  他们在调查中发现,接受询问的人当中,有相当比例的人对艾滋病和艾滋病病毒存在误解。报告还指出,公众对艾滋病患者的态度,仍旧是一个问题。

  “公共议程”是设在纽约的一个研究公众对艾滋病认知问题的机构。这个机构的研究员乔纳森·罗奇金德最近访问了纽约市一些三十岁以下的居民。

  他说:“我们开始谈到关于准备食物的问题。我问他们,如果他们知道为他们服务的人患有艾滋病,他们会有什么感觉。回答是非常担心。如果他们的牙医患有艾滋病呢?答案也是非常担心。即使就在15分钟之前,他们还坦白地告诉我,和艾滋病人偶然的接触,不会导致感染。在这一方面,危险性的评估还是不足。”

  奥巴马政府最近发起一个公众认知艾滋病运动,以改进有关艾滋病的教育。

  奥巴马政府的高级艾滋病顾问杰夫·克劳利说,政府正在和社团组织合作,制订一套计划,消除公众对艾滋病人的歧视:“有一个解决问题的方法,那就是将它正常化。让人们看到,我们保护他们的人权,所以他们不用害怕暴力和歧视。”

  这份调查报告的作者说,他们的一个积极的重要发现是,美国人支持政府拨出更多的经费,防治艾滋病。
