AIDS related attitudes among government employees
Article Abstract:
A significant minority of government employees are fearful of AIDS, according to a survey of government employees in non-health services agencies in NW Florida. Most employees are not too concerned about AIDS, but people do not want to be exposed to risk of infection from a coworker. However, people generally feel compassionate about an AIDS sufferer. About 25% of government employees do not know enough about AIDS transmission, and this ignorance can lead to false fears. Males are more scared than females about getting AIDS. AIDS information should be disseminated in the workplace in the form most appealing to workers. Printed materials were favoured by 54.5% of employees, and video and audio presentatios by 33.8% of employees. Effective training programmes may be the result of the continued fear of AIDS, as both fear and knowledge of AIDS are linked.
