[ACLU] - Discrimination against people with AIDS and HIV disease has reached critical levels in the United States, bringing hardship and suffering to thousands of Americans every year, a new study by the American Civil Liberties Union AIDS Project has found. The study, entitled Epidemic of Fear, is the first national survey to address- the growing problem of prejudice against people with HIV/AIDS and their care providers. "This study shows how extraordinarily persistent discrimination remains in this country, even after science has proven there is no risk of casual transmission," said Nan D. Hunter, outgoing Director of the ACLU AIDS Project and principal author of the study. •ln Step.July 5-18.1990.Page 64 •In Step.July 5-18.1990.Page 17 on the Americans with Disabilities Act discrimination remain fragmented and inconsistent.
