New Vision (Kampala) - December 2, 2007
But the survey, carried out for World Vision, found that in the seven countries, 44% of respondents would willingly pay more taxes to combat AIDS.
More than 3,500 people in the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan were interviewed for the survey.
The poll found Canadians were the most concerned about AIDS and Japanese the least.
In the countries taken together, one in four people thought the AIDS problem had been "greatly exaggerated" by the media, the survey said.
