A generation after it was first discovered, what do most Americans know about HIV/AIDS? Do they know how it is transmitted and treated? How it can be prevented? How do people feel about people who are living with HIV? Government efforts to combat the epidemic? Participants in focus groups for Public Agenda's "Impressions Of HIV/AIDS In America: Building Public Support For Workable Solutions To End The Epidemic" expressed an interest in learning more about the disease, support for increased educuation and research, and concern that access to adequate health care may be part of the problem.

We held focus groups in urban, suburban and rural settings across the nation. Click here to see the report and its findings, which can serve as a milestone for policymakers considering which strategies are most effective.

This report was prepared by Public Agenda for The National AIDS Strategy Coordinating Committee, with support from the M·A·C AIDS Fund.
