This week's poll question:

Q: How optimistic are you that HIV/AIDS education and intervention programs, and consequently increased safe sex behavior and abstinence will arrest the growing rate of HIV/AIDS cases among African Americans in the near future?

* Very optimistic. There seems to be enough intervention and education taking place to halt the alarming growth of HIV/AIDS infection among Blacks.

* Somewhat optimistic. The current intervention and education efforts are not sufficient, but the growing crisis will stimulate a level of activity that's certain to reverse current trends.

* Not optimistic. Education and intervention efforts haven't begun to address the complexity of the HIV/AIDS crisis among Blacks.

* Other opinion.
