education, those who think HIV/AIDS

So, support for federal government involvement is higher among Canadians with higher levels of education, those who think HIV/AIDS is a serious problem, people who have high levels of knowledge and comfort with the issue and who personally know someone with the disease. Support for increased federal spending now is higher among those who think HIV/AIDS is a serious problem, those who know someone with the disease and Canadians who perceive an increased risk of infection in the past five years. This also holds true for those with high levels of perceived knowledge and comfort levels and individuals who are less likely to distance themselves from the issue.
