We used interviews of 268 subjects to ascertain knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices related to AIDS among Montrealers of Haitian origin, from November 1987 through October 1988. The questions on knowledge included items on general knowledge about the disease (prevention of AIDS, treatment, nature and manifestations of the disease, screening and high-risk groups), and more specific questions about modes of HIV-1 transmission. The average correct answers to questions on general knowledge about AIDS was 81%. The questions on HIV-1 transmission concerned both modes of infection that are scientifically established, and other modes that are not scientifically recognized. The average correct answers to questions on scientifically recognized modes of infection was 94% and the average correct answers for modes of transmission that are not scientifically accepted was 74%. The attitudes and beliefs of Montrealers of Haitian origin toward persons with AIDS was only moderately favourable. Attitudes and beliefs toward condom promotion were very positive. The percentage of subjects reporting male homosexuality or injection drug use was extremely small. 23% of subjects who had experienced sexual intercourse reported that they had two or more partners during the 12 months preceding the survey.
1987年11月至1988年10月期间，我们对268名受试者进行了访谈，以确定海地裔蒙特利尔人在艾滋病方面的知识、态度、信念和行为。关于知识的问题包括有关该疾病的一般知识（艾滋病的预防、治疗、疾病的性质和表现、筛查及高危人群），以及关于HIV-1传播方式的更具体问题。关于艾滋病一般知识问题的平均正确答案率为81%。关于HIV-1传播的问题涉及科学确定的感染方式以及未被科学认可的其他方式。关于科学认可的感染方式问题的平均正确答案率为94%，对于未被科学接受的传播方式，平均正确答案率为74%。海地裔蒙特利尔人对艾滋病患者的态度和信念只是适度积极。对推广避孕套的态度和信念非常积极。报告有男同性恋行为或注射吸毒的受试者比例极小。23%有过性行为的受试者报告称，在调查前的12个月里他们有两个或更多性伴侣。
