本文探讨了与艾滋病相关的耻辱与（a）与艾滋病患者（PWA）的直接个人接触，以及（b）通过大众媒体与患有艾滋病或艾滋病毒的公众人物的替代接触之间的关系。数据来自 2 波全国电话调查，其中美国成年人的概率样本（第 1 波 ns = 538；第 2 波 382）和美国黑人的过采样（ns 分别 = 607 和 420）。与 PWA 的直接接触与对强制性艾滋病政策的支持较少、对 PWA 的指责较少以及对 PWA 的回避较少相关。替代接触——作为“魔术师”埃尔文·约翰逊披露自己感染艾滋病毒的自我报告影响而发挥作用——似乎对以前表现出高度耻辱的受访者产生了最大的影响。在该群体中，受访者表示受到约翰逊声明的强烈影响，耻辱程度有所减轻。
This paper examines the relationship between AIDS-related stigma and (a) direct, personal contact with people with AIDS (PWAs), and (b) vicarious contact-through mass media-with a public figure with AIDS or HIV. Data are presented from a 2-wave national telephone survey with a probability sample of U.S. adults (ns = 538 at Wave 1; 382 at Wave 2) and an oversample of Black Americans (ns = 607 and 420, respectively). Direct contact with a PWA was associated with less support for coercive AIDS policies, less blame for PWAs, and less avoidance of PWAs. Vicarious contact-operationalized as the self-reported impact of Earvin ''Magic'' Johnson's disclosure of his HIV infection-appeared to have its greatest impact among respondents who previously had manifested high levels of stigma. In that group, levels of stigma diminished somewhat to the extent that respondents reported having been strongly influenced by Johnson's announcement.
