HIV/AIDS Epi Updates, July 2010

The primary objective of the PHAC Epi Update publication is to provide up-to-date information on trends and developments in the epidemiology of HIV and associated risk behaviours in Canada. Prior to 2007, the Epi Update was published on an annual basis. A new approach has been developed, specifically, a staggered approach to publication of the chapters. Each chapter will now be published as a stand-alone document that will be updated in the future as new epidemiologic data become available. In 2010, the following chapters were updated
and published as stand-alone booklets:
Chapter 1: National HIV Prevalence and Incidence Estimates in Canada for 2008
Chapter 2: Undiagnosed HIV Infections in Canada
Chapter 3: HIV Testing and Surveillance Systems in Canada
Chapter 4: HIV/AIDS Among Youth in Canada
Chapter 5: HIV/AIDS Among Women in Canada
Chapter 6: HIV/AIDS Among Older Canadians
Chapter 7: Perinatal HIV Transmission in Canada
Chapter 8: HIV/AIDS Among Aboriginal Peoples of Canada
Chapter 9: HIV/AIDS Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Canada
Chapter 10: HIV/AIDS Among People Who Inject Drugs in Canada
Chapter 11: HIV Strain Surveillance in Canada
Chapter 12: Primary HIV Antiretroviral Drug Resistance in Canada
