Information to the readers of HIV and AIDS in Canada

Information to the readers of HIV and AIDS in Canada On behalf of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section, we would like to present you with HIV and AIDS in Canada. Selected Surveillance Tables to June 30, 2007. These key tables provide a summary of the HIV and AIDS surveillance data to June 30, 2007. Please note that the tables are not numbered consecutively as they have been numbered to match those in the year-end surveillance report. A complete listing of tables included in the 2006 year-end surveillance report is available in HIV and AIDS in Canada. Surveillance Report to December 31, 2006 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/aids-sida/publication/index-eng.php#surveillance).

The HIV/AIDS Surveillance section is part of the Surveillance and Risk Assessment Division, at the Public Health Agency of Canada. This section is responsible for data collection and management, analysis and report production. In addition, we continue to improve data quality, define and set surveillance standards, as well as support the use of these data to influence programmatic and policy action.

A further description of HIV and AIDS surveillance data is available in the HIV/AIDS Epi Updates reports that are also available on our website: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/epiu-aepi/iindex-eng.php.

The publication of this report would not be possible without the submission of HIV and AIDS surveillance data from all provinces and territories. Their ongoing contribution to national HIV and AIDS surveillance is gratefully acknowledged and is further listed in Appendix 5.

Yours Sincerely,

Julie Stokes, BSc Senior Surveillance Analyst HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section	Dr. Chris Archibald, MDCM, MHSc, FRCPC Director Surveillance and Risk Assessment Division
