New CATIE Resources *The Positive Side* – Winter
2013<http://www.catie.ca/en/positiveside?i=160113&l=e&p=04>
In this issue of *The Positive Side, *we tackle how to get a good night’s
sleep, look at the history of AIDS in the movies, and provide expert advice
on how to manage your lipid levels. And we share stories, lots of stories:
We visit with two young people who were born with HIV, and how they have
been navigating school, a social life and health care. Our cover story is a
profile of Columbia-born Claudia Medina, who speaks openly about HIV,
sexuality and supporting PHAs. There are stories of tattoos, beach weddings
and meeting *Fashion Television* goddess Jeanne Beker at the 25th and final
AIDS fundraising gala *Fashion Cares*. So many stories and so many
insights! But would we expect anything less from the great people living
with HIV in this country? Absolutely not.
FAQ: What do women need to know about hepatitis
C?<http://www.hepcinfo.ca/en/node/2505?lang=en&level=i?i=160113&l=e&p=04>
This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) offers basic hepatitis C information
specific to women and answers some common questions asked by women living
with the virus:
- Does hepatitis C affect women differently than it does men?
- Is hepatitis C treatment successful for women?
- Does hepatitis C affect a woman’s reproductive or sexual health?
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Are they safe?
- How does menopause affect women with hepatitis C?
CATIE Updates CATIE launches multilingual hepatitis C awareness
campaign<http://orders.catie.ca/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=what+you+should+know&osCsid?i=160113&l=e&p=04>
Discover yourlanguage.hepcinfo.ca, a multilingual section of our website
that provides hepatitis C information in English, Simplified Chinese,
Tagalog, Punjabi and Urdu. The web section provides useful information in
all these languages, including PDFs of brochures intended for immigrants
and newcomers and service providers who work with them.
The web information is part of an Ontario-wide campaign to raise awareness
about hepatitis C in the province’s largest immigrant populations. The
campaign will also have print and web advertisements in community media, as
well as targeted radio public service announcements, throughout November
and January. The campaign also directs people to call the Toronto Public
Health’s AIDS and Sexual Health Infoline (1-800-668-2437) which can provide
counseling about HIV, hepatitis and sexual health in up to 16 languages and
provide information about testing sites within Ontario.
We thank the Hepatitis C Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health and
Long-term Care for its support in this program.
For more information about the project or its resources, please contact
Hywel Tuscano: htuscano at catie.ca.
Highlights from our Partners Course on culturally appropriate care opens
for all health practitioners <http://www.hivnet.ubc.ca/2012/06/cme/>
The online course introduces the social, cultural and historical frameworks
for HIV health care in Aboriginal communities. The goal of the 1.5-hour
course is to provide training to improve frontline capacity and cultural
sensitivity for HIV diagnosis and treatment.
This Continuing Medical Education (CME) certified course is a joint effort
by the Canadian Medical Association and CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network
(CTN) with critical input from the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN).
Memorial University of Newfoundland developed the instructional design and
is responsible for accreditation and evaluation.

Invitation to join CAAN’s National Research Advisory Committee
<http://www.ohtn.on.ca/Images/didyouknow/dec4_12/NRAC.pdf>
The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) is looking for individuals to
sit on its National Research Advisory Committee (NRAC). Since 2006, NRAC
has guided the research work of the CAAN Research and Policy Unit (RPU),
assuring that it undertakes and produces HIV & AIDS community-based
research that is methodologically-sound, culturally-appropriate, respectful
and relevant. NRAC will now be mandated to also oversee the work of the new
Aboriginal HIV & AIDS (AHA) Research Centre, housed at the CAAN RPU in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
All members of the National Research Advisory Committee will participate in
the committee for a term of two years during which time Terms of Reference
and a process to replace members will be finalized. Committee members will
be asked to draw from their past and continued involvement in the
Aboriginal and/or the community-based research community, to guide CAAN’s
research initiatives. CAAN is looking for members from Aboriginal
communities residing anywhere in Canada. The ability to communicate through
email and via Skype would be very helpful.
For more information, please contact:
- Renee Masching, Director of Research and Policy reneem at cann.ca
- Marni Amirault, Community-Based Research Manager (East) marni at cann.ca
- Sherri Pooyak, Community-Based Research Manager (West) sherrip at caan.ca
CAAN seeks artists to create AHA Centre
logo<http://www.caan.ca/aha-center-logo-contest/>
The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) is calling on artists to submit
proposed logos for its newly funded Aboriginal HIV and AIDS Community Based
Research Collaborative Centre (AHA Centre). They are looking for an
original logo that:
- Represents all three Aboriginal groups in Canada (First Nations,
Inuit, and Metis);
- Indicates the AHA Centre is concerned with HIV and AIDS;
- Indicates the Centre is focused on community-based research;
- CAAN and the AHA Centre facilitate collaboration/networking.
CAAN and the AHA Centre will have ownership over the logo. All entries can
include the artist’s small signature or initials, preferably at the bottom
right of the design. Artist for the winning logo, selected by the AHA
Centre’s Governing Council, will receive $100.00. A profile of the artist
and their artwork will also appear on the organization’s website.
Deadline for entries is January, 30 2013. The winning artist will be
notified by phone. Please email all entries to patrickb at caan.ca as a JPEG
and remember to include your contact information.
Save the dates! HIV and Rehabilitation Research Forum, June 13-14, 2013
The Canadian Working Group on HIV and Rehabilitation (CWGHR) is pleased to
invite you to the *International Forum on HIV and Rehabilitation
Research*to be held in Toronto on June 13-14, 2013. This Forum will be

At the Forum, speakers from Canada, the UK and Ireland will translate
research evidence knowledge on HIV and rehabilitation generated through the
Canada-UK HIV and Rehabilitation Research Collaborative (CUHRRC), CWGHR,
and other organizations engaging in HIV and rehabilitation research across
key research priorities, including:
- Aging with concurrent health conditions
- HIV and neurocognitive rehabilitation
- Access to and effect of rehabilitation
- Labour force participation and employment
CWGHR says that through this Forum, new research and clinical partnerships
between Canada, Ireland and the UK will be fostered, strategies for ongoing
knowledge transfer and exchange nationally and internationally will be
generated, mechanisms to incorporate research into practice and policy will
be discussed, and new and emerging priorities in HIV and rehabilitation
will be identified.

Communications, at FLecuyer at HIVandRehab.ca or (416) 513-0440, ext. 238.
Proposed changes by Health Canada to Marihuana Medical Access
Program<http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/media/nr-cp/_2012/2012-193-eng.php>
On December 15, 2012 Canada’s Minister of Health, The Honourable Leona

new *Marihuana
for Medical Purposes *regulations and will issue a statement early in the
new year; Health Canada will be receiving comments until February 28, 2013.

New Resources from the Field *HIV and AIDS in Canada: Surveillance
Report to December 31,
2011*<http://www.catie.ca/sites/default/files/PHAC_HIV-AIDS_2011%20Report_Eng-Fr.pdf>
The *HIV and AIDS in Canada: Surveillance Report to December 31,
2011*presents an overview of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Canada, based on
case
reports of HIV and AIDS submitted by all provinces and territories. This
report is published on an annual basis as part of the Public Health Agency
of Canada’s (PHAC’s) responsibility to collect and analyze surveillance
data at the national level. The report assesses the state of HIV and AIDS
in Canada by identifying trends among populations demarcated by sex, age
group, race/ethnicity, exposure category and geographical location, in
addition to reporting on mortality in Canada due to HIV/AIDS.
*The Toolbox: What Works for Sex
Workers*<http://library.catie.ca/pdf/ATI-20000s/26429.pdf>
This resource by POWER (Prostitutes of Ottawa-Gatineau Work, Educate and
Resist) is an expanded toolkit of information, strategies and tips for
service providers working with sex workers. The booklet is intended as a
resource for frontline health and social service providers, media, the
general public, police, sex workers, and anyone who wants to be an ally to
sex workers. It aims to provide an overview of the challenges confronting
sex workers in Ontario, speak to the diversity within the industry and
present strategies for change. (In English only).
