Printer-friendly versionNew, from the Public Health Agency of Canada:
Population-specific HIV/AIDS status report: Women is the third in a series of eight reports being prepared by the Public Health Agency of Canada on populations particularly affected by HIV/AIDS in Canada.
This is the first time that HIV/AIDS-related information specific to women in Canada has been presented in such a comprehensive manner. The status report includes women-focused demographic information and epidemiological data about HIV and AIDS in Canada; information on the determinants of health as they impact the vulnerability and resilience of women to HIV/AIDS; a description of current Canadian research; and a discussion of the current Canadian response to HIV/AIDS among women.
The report is also available by contacting the Agency’s Centre for Communicable Disease and Infection Control (cdic-clmti@phac-aspc.gc.ca) or from the CATIE Ordering Centre.
