Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in Saskatchewan- Where are we now and what does the future hold?
FY 2011-12
Summary
HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS. There is no cure for HIV at this moment, but there is treatment available to stop it from becoming AIDS. Saskatchewan has the highest rate of new cases of HIV in the country. Many people in the province find out that they have HIV when it is too late for the treatment to make any difference, and are dying. This Cafe Scientifique is designed to be an open forum with experts so that anyone can find out:
1. What is HIV/AIDS, what are the risk factors for this disease and who should have testing done?
2. What is the present status of this disease in the province?
3. What can we expect to happen with this epidemic if we don't change things soon?
