title: Religious belief and attitudes to HIV/AIDS.
abstract: This article discusses a research study into the effect of religious beliefs on attitudes to HIV/AIDS. The author sought to clarify the issues involved and to discover which 'elements' within a religious belief tend to dispose the adherent to negative attitudes towards a person with HIV/AIDS. Only 6 per cent of the variation in the subjects' attitudes, however, was attributable to the degree of scriptural influence in their lives.
