Résumé

The article presents the results of the frst national survey in a representative sample of the French population of 18 years of age aud over (n : 1000; March 1990) about knowledge, atütudes, beliefs and practices toward HfV infection. It focuses on the impact of the media campaigps about AIDS and condom promoüon tlat were initiated since April 1987 by French pubüc health authorities. A total of 53.20 of respondents were able to correctly quote at least one of the slogans of the campaigns and 48.4Vo felt they have been personally influenced by the campaigns. Respectively 25.4o/o, lz.l%o, and 1l'2o dælared that the campaips have made them more concerned of individual risk of HIV infection and prompted them to condom use and HfV ksting. Among heterosexually active respondents, 16.9% declared condom use in the past 12 months, age, marital status, level of education, HfV tesüng aod self-acknowledgement of influence of campaips being the main factors related to condom use in multidimensional analysis' Respondents who recognise having been influenced by campaigns are less likely to believe in HIV transmission through casual contact and to express discriminatory attitudes toward HIV carriers but more likely to support HIV mandatory screening for the general population' The difficulties to properly evaluate media campains for AIDS prevention are discussed as well as the complex trade-offs that general public information has to face between promotion of both individual behavioral change and societal support and empathy for HIV carriers and persons with AIDS.
