Survey On Public Attitudes To HIV

From the Equality And Diversity Forum:

NAT (National AIDS Trust) launched its fourth survey ‘HIV: Public Knowledge and Attitudes 2010′, in February 2011.

Survey findings include:

•One in five adults do not realise HIV is transmitted through sex without a condom between a man and a woman.
•Only three in ten adults (30%) can correctly identify, from a list of possible routes, all of the ways HIV is and is not transmitted.
•An increasing proportion of adults incorrectly believe HIV can be transmitted by impossible routes such as kissing and spitting.
•Nearly a fifth of adults (19%) believe if a family member was HIV positive it would damage their relationship with them.
•More than two thirds of British adults (68%) agree more needs to be done to tackle prejudice against people living with HIV in the UK.
