A study was developed to examine the current experiences and opinions of a national sample of family physicians with regard to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The survey response rate was 72.5% (757 questionnaires were returned out of a sample of 1044). Approximately 47% of respondents have cared for an HIV-infected patients. This percentage varied from a low of 31.4% in the Midwest to as high as 56.1% on the East Coast. Thirty-two percent of family physicians practicing in communities of fewer than 2500 have dealt with this illness, while 60% of those in communities of greater than 100,000 have done so. Seventy-seven percent of respondents are willing to provide care to HIV-infected individuals; 62.9% believe that physicians have a right to refuse to care for a patient because he or she is infected with the AIDS virus. Forty percent believe that they would lose patients if it were known that they were caring for an AIDS patient in their office. Finally, the vast majority of those surveyed favor required partner notification and would inform the sexual partner of an HIV-positive patient if the patient refused to do so.
开展了一项研究，以调查全国范围内家庭医生样本对获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）的当前经历和看法。调查回复率为72.5%（在1044份样本中，有757份问卷被返还）。约47%的受访者曾照料过艾滋病毒感染患者。这一比例从中西部的低至31.4%到东海岸的高达56.1%不等。在人口少于2500人的社区执业的家庭医生中有32%处理过这种疾病，而在人口超过10万的社区中这一比例为60%。77%的受访者愿意为艾滋病毒感染者提供护理；62.9%的人认为医生有权拒绝为感染艾滋病病毒的患者提供护理。40%的人认为，如果在其诊所照料艾滋病患者的情况被知晓，他们会失去患者。最后，绝大多数受访者赞成要求通知性伴侣，并且如果患者拒绝这样做，他们会告知艾滋病毒呈阳性患者的性伴侣。
