title: Mothers' awareness of HIV and AIDS.
abstract: Health visitors in Northamptonshire carried out a survey of mothers attending child health clinics to determine their knowledge and awareness of HIV and Aids. The aim was to ascertain levels of need for further health education for professional health workers and, in turn, their client groups. Susan J Stevens et al describe the results of the survey which revealed widespread lack of knowledge among women of childbearing age.
