Interviewer instructions

These four questions are to ascertain the respondents' own personal opinions and attitudes towards people with AIDS. To obtain this data, we present four hypothetical (imaginary) situations to respondents and ask them to tell us how they would react to the situation. The questions address the following situations:

· Willingness to buy vegetables from a vendor with the AIDS virus: Would the respondent buy vegetables from someone in the market if she knew the seller had AIDS?

· Concern about keeping the status of a family member infected with AIDS a secret or not: Would the respondent be willing to have other people in the community know if a member of her family had AIDS?

· Willingness to care for a family member ill with AIDS in their own household: Would the respondent be willing to care for a relative who had AIDs in her household? If the respondent says she would be willing but her husband would not let her, select YES because it is her attitude you are concerned with not her husband's.

· Attitude about a teacher infected with the AIDS virus continuing to teach: What is the respondent's opinion about how such a case should be handled?
