Public image and governance of epidemics: Comparing HIV/AIDS and SARS	2007-02-28		.txt	text/plain	9734	423	49	Abstract A comparative analysis of the 2002–2003 infectious disease outbreak, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and the HIV/AIDS epidemic that has affected the world over the past two decades reveals the significant role of socio-cultural beliefs and attitudes in the shaping of people's lifestyles and approaches to the control and prevention of epidemics. The second assumption is that in contrast to SARS, the overall negative public 'image' of HIV/AIDS as a disease associated with particular types of individuals tends to weaken people's perception of susceptibility and, correspondingly, tends to discourage public support for robust preventive efforts at the community level. The second assumption to be explored here is that in contrast to SARS, the overall negative social 'image' of HIV/AIDS as a disease associated with particular types of individuals tends to weaken people's perception of susceptibility and, correspondingly, tends to discourage public support for robust preventive efforts at the community level.	./cache/cord-329890-wg23sa1u.txt	./txt/cord-329890-wg23sa1u.txt
