Information to the readers of HIV and AIDS in

On behalf of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section, I would like to
present you with the HIV and AIDS in Canada: Surveillance Report to
June 30, 2006. This report is part of a semi-annual series
providing a review of available HIV and AIDS surveillance data in
Canada.
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, defi ne and set surveillance
standards, as well as support the use of these data to infl uence
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 listed on the front cover of this
report.
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,

Highlights
HIV and AIDS diagnoses to June 2006
Total HIV and AIDS diagnoses to June 2006
- A total of 61,423 diagnoses of HIV infection have been reported
to the Public Health Agency of Canada from November 1985, (when
reporting began) up to June 30, 2006.
- 20,493 diagnoses of AIDS from 1979 to June 2006.
HIV diagnoses from January to June 2006
- For the first six months of 2006, a total of 1,232 diagnoses of
HIV were reported, compared to 1,234 HIV diagnoses in the first
half of 2005.
- For the first half of 2006, 74.3% were male, 25.7% were
female.
- 47% were among men who have sex with men, 10.3% among injecting
drug users, 33.5% among heterosexual contact exposure
category.
Limitations
- It is important to be cautious when interpreting the
surveillance data for the first half of the reporting year due to
small sample sizes, delays and underreporting.
- the province of Quebec has not submitted AIDS data to PHAC
since June 30, 2003, therefore annual trends for reported AIDS
diagnoses beyond the year 2003 are limited.
