[单项选择]Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS. But they don’t know there’s no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic is over."
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they’re still realistic about the fact that there is no cure," says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA today Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country’s top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38% say it’s the top
concern, down from 44 % in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29 % say AIDS is N0.1, down from I 41% in 1992and67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults
A. optimistic
B. realistic
C. pessimistic
D. hopeless

HIV & AIDS
AIDS has now surpassed the Black Death on its course to become the worst pandemic in human history. At the end of 2004, 20 million people had been killed by it, and twice that number is currently infected with HIV. Barring a medical breakthrough, it could claim the lives of some 60 million people by 2015. AIDS exerts a terrible toll on societies, crippling their economies, decimating their labor forces and orphaning their children.
Nine out of 10 people living with HIV are in the developing world; 60 to 70% of those are in Sub-Saharan Africa. But the disease is spreading in every region, with fierce epidemics threatening to tear through countries such as India, China, Russia and the islands of the Caribbean. The statistics are sobering — in some Southern African towns 44% of pregnant women are HIV positive, in Botswana 37% of people carry the virus.
