I wanted to bring this to your attention.  We released the information
just before Durban.  There are some interesting findings about
Americans' support for debt relief and for reductions in drug prices:

**************

To shed light on Americans' views about the state of the 
HIV/AIDS epidemic worldwide and the role of the U.S. in 
addressing the global epidemic, the Kaiser Family Foundation 
conducted a national survey of Americans about their attitudes 
towards HIV/AIDS globally and in sub-Saharan Africa in particular.
The survey examines Americans' understanding of the magnitude of 
the epidemic, perceptions about access to treatment and care, as 
well as support for government and private sector involvement in 
prevention and treatment in developing nations. 

Findings from the survey along with toplines, released in 
preparation for the 13th International AIDS Conference, are 
available on the Kaiser Family Foundation website at: 
www.kff.org/hiv.

Thank you for your interest,
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
