Acknowledgements National level HIV and AIDS surveillance is possible as a result of all
provinces and territories
participating in, and setting directions for, HIV and AIDS surveillance.
Accordingly, the Centre
for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control acknowledges the provincial/territorial
HIV/AIDS
coordinators, public health units, laboratories, health care providers and
reporting physicians
for providing the non-nominal confidential data that enable this report
to be published. Without
their close collaboration and participation in HIV and AIDS surveillance,
the publication of this
report would not have been possible. The Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention
and Control
also acknowledges the contributions of many researchers, community members,
and nongovernmental
organizations, including the Canadian AIDS Society, for their valuable inputs
and comments during the preparation of this report.
N.B. This document must be cited as the source of any information
extracted and used from it.
