70% of the pupils of public schools in the city of Bochum who were questioned in an opinion poll conducted by the Public Health Office were interested in knowing more about AIDS. More than 80% of the boys and girls approached during the questioning know the causative virus and how persons can get infected. It is also relatively well known how a person can protect himself or herself against HIV infection by meaningful measures. However, it is very surprising that only about 24% of all questioned pupils believe that anybody without exception can be involved. The school, TV and magazines or newspapers are named as principal sources of information. About 40% of all questioned persons are very afraid or afraid of AIDS. About 50% of the schoolgirls and schoolboys approached during the poll wanted to know how they should act when coming into contact with AIDS patients. Schoolgirls and schoolboys prefer to discuss problems of prevention and subjects like AIDS with their girlfriend or boyfriend or at the most with their mother. Almost 80% of all persons questioned believed that they could at least do something, albeit little, to prevent AIDS from spreading further by their own behaviour. The following column histograms show some of the exact percentage distributions.
在波鸿市公共卫生办公室进行的一项民意调查中，接受询问的公立学校学生中有70%对进一步了解艾滋病感兴趣。在询问过程中接触到的男孩和女孩中，超过80%知道致病病毒以及人是如何感染的。人们也相对熟知一个人如何通过合理措施保护自己免受艾滋病毒感染。然而，非常令人惊讶的是，在所有接受询问的学生中，只有约24%的人认为任何人毫无例外都可能感染。学校、电视以及杂志或报纸被列为主要信息来源。所有接受询问的人中约40%非常害怕或惧怕艾滋病。在民意调查过程中接触到的约50%的女学生和男学生想知道在与艾滋病患者接触时应该如何行动。女学生和男学生更愿意与他们的女朋友或男朋友，或者最多与他们的母亲讨论预防问题和诸如艾滋病之类的话题。几乎80%的接受询问者认为，他们至少可以通过自己的行为做一些事情，尽管作用不大，来防止艾滋病进一步传播。以下柱状图显示了一些确切的百分比分布情况。
