Three educational and moral questions regarding AIDS among South African education students
1University of Natal, Ashwood, South Africa.
Abstract:
Two objectives were explored: the extent to which undergraduates supported the admission to school of children with HIV, whether HIV sufferers were to blame for their illness, and AIDS was direct punishment from God. While 93 of 164 respondents did not think AIDS was punishment from God and 105 did not support exclusion of school children with AIDS, 75 and 49 held the opposite views, respectively. There was no conclusive support for whether HIV carriers were to blame for their disease: 70 responded yes, 75 no, and 12 I don't know.
