Men Make a Difference.
The report emphasizes the fact that men s health often receives inadequate attention, that their behaviour puts both themselves and women at risk of HIV, and that unprotected sex between men endangers both men and women. Furthermore, it underscores the need for men to give more consideration to AIDS as it affects the family. This paper outlines the national trends of AIDS and HIV in Canada. It highlights recent trends among exposure groups and gender within the national AIDS and HIV surveillance data, and provides estimates of national HIV prevalence and incidence updated to 1999. Since 1997, the rate of decline has slowed and the curve now appears to be levelling off.
