Other respon-dents were more moderate in their replies, affirm-ing that broaching the subject of aids /HIV de-pends on the teacher and his/her understanding of the disease, training, and personal experience. And then, to make things just a little more compli-cated, there were even those who replied with a simple and straightforward yes of course, how could you doubt it.
