 AB    A survey of AIDS knowledge and condom-related attitudes and behaviours
       was conducted among 896 randomly selected men and women in and around
       Lae, Goroka, Mt Hagen and a rural area of Madang. While 93% of those
       interviewed were familiar with the disease name, only 3% demonstrated
       adequate knowledge of modes of transmission and prevention. Condom
       acceptance, in theory, appears high, but must be strongly promoted for
       substantial change in usage patterns to be acquired.
