Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
This report summarizes the proceedings of the Focus Group Meeting on Aboriginal HIV estimates that was held by the Division of HIV/AIDS Epidemiology and Surveillance on February 6-7, 2001, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The main objectives of the meeting were:
(1) to obtain input from the Aboriginal community related to the estimates of HIV infections among the Aboriginal populations;
(2) to discuss data needs from surveillance programs and targeted studies to improve the HIV estimates among the Aboriginal populations; and
(3) to discuss issues related to the interpretation, dissemination and use of these data.
Participants at the meeting brought forward many good points
which are currently under consideration by the Bureau of HIV/AIDS,
STD and TB. We have also communicated your recommendations to other
programs of Health Canada.
