Abstract
The subject of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a topic of critical importance in family‐related health issues. The number of HIV‐infected preschool children is increasing and, due to medical advances in treatment, living longer. Typically, federally‐funded day care programs will be called upon to provide developmental and educational opportunities for AIDS‐infected children from low socioeconomic groups. In response to these concerns, a pilot project was developed to evaluate AIDS‐related attitudes of child care administrators and teachers in community‐based licensed day care centers in Alabama. Results indicated gaps in pertinent areas of knowledge concerning non‐proven methods of AIDS transmission. There were fears and reservations among the respondents about working with young children with AIDS in a classroom or group setting.
