Health education and the AIDS epidemic
1Department of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Abstract:
What is known about the biology of AIDS is reviewed, and the social factors which influence disease transmission and public attitudes are considered. After an evaluation of the methods available to control the epidemic, the reasons for the limited success of public health measures thus far undertaken are considered. The ethical debate on public health policy is analysed, and the need for a nationwide educational programme on AIDS is emphasised--one which is responsive to the rights and obligations of citizens in a democratic society.
