A telephone survey asking students how they feel about AIDS infected students attending classes was conducted by University of North Carolina’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The survey was conducted from October 11-15 2006, and the results showed that 6 percent of AIDS children should be allowed to attend school, 23 percent said they should not, and 13 percent said they had no opinion.
Telephone numbers were dialed randomly, and were chosen by a random computer process by KPC research.
“It’s encouraging to have more than half say they would (let AIDS children attend classes with other children). I think a few years ago in this epidemic there was a lot more AIDS hysteria and probably a lot more people said they wouldn’t let AIDS children attend school with other children,” stated Kathy Kerr, a health educator with the AIDS Control Program of the North Carolina Division of Health Services.
