Interviewer instructions
This question is to ascertain the respondents' own personal opinions and attitudes towards people with AIDS. We present a situation to respondents, asking them to imagine a particular scenario. Then we ask them to tell us how they would react to the situation.

Circle the code for the response given. Once again, do not prompt the respondent or indicate the "correct" answer in any way. If a respondent says she doesn't know, is unsure or that it depends, circle '8' for 'DK/not sure/depends".

If a school learns that a female teacher has the AIDS virus, but she is not sick, how should the school handle this information? Should the teacher be allowed to continue teaching at the school, or should she be removed from her teaching position? We are not asking about whether or not a teacher has actually been asked to leave a teaching position, but rather, what is the respondent's opinion about how such a case should be handled; should the teacher be allowed to continue teaching?
