So far this winter, we have run the gamut — everything from subzero temperatures and snow to wind and rain. AIDS AWARENESS by Jatnes Greig I read in the newspaper that immigrants to the United States were coming to Canada to be tested for AIDS. Why? Are the Canadian taxpayers paying for these tests? Is this part of the Free Trade Agreement? —K.S., Keswick, Ont. No, this is not part of the Free Trade Agreement. Since Dec. 1, 1987, all immigrants and refugees wishing to become permanent residents in the United States must take an AIDS test for exposure to the virus (HIV). Those testing positive are not allowed to become U.S. residents. It is estimated that approximately 660,000 people will be tested this year under this public health service regulation. Canada was asked by the U.S. Government to assist in the enforcement of this policy. In the U.S., if your student or work visa expires, you must leave the country before being eligible to apply for permanent residency status, Many people are coming to Canada instead of returning to their homelands for the mandatory medical examination and AIDS test before re-entry into the United States. In most cases, these people are coming to Ontario or British Columbia. In Ontario, the AIDS testing is done at a provincial laboratory -and a fee of about $15 is charged by the doctors conducting the medical examination for the U.S. Consulate. The Money is currently being held in trust until the Ontario government • passes a regulation allowing the laboratory to accept the money. In British Columbia, the government has licensed one private laboratory to conduct the AIDS testing.and accept payment for tests conducted on behalf of the U.S. 'immigration. About one half of the tests conducted are on former U.S. residents. The other half tested are Canadians wishing' to move to the United States. Does 'doctor not have to have a patiint's consent before conducting MOS 'vitt& telltr.441 1144:4 Mks. Out: ' • " ' '; In most cases yes, unlesS circum- stances are such that a patient is too ill (possibly unconscious) to provide the consent and the doctor feels the results of the test are imperative to a diagnosis. I criticized the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) for its decision at a Vancouver conference to advise doctors who may be AIDS virus carriers to Consult with experts to determine the risk they may present to patients. It is my belief that there is no risk involved and that this advice would only mislead the public. However, Ido now commend the CMA for its recommendation and decision concerning not allowing AIDS testing on • patient§ without their informed consent except under rare circumstances. This recommendation upholds a Su- preme Court decisiOn in 1980 that ruled inforMed consent was mandatory before any diagnostic procedures or treatment could be undertaken. Special note to readers: In a previous column, itt was suggested by a reader that AIDS was responsible for the plight and deaths of the seal population in the North Sea. , At the time of writing that column, it was not known what was causing the tragedy. Scientists have since discovered that the seals were stricken with the canine virus "dis- temper". It has been suggested that a sick dog may have attacked a seal on the beach, that the seal contracted the disease and then went on to infect the seal herd. Inoculations are now underway to save as many of the seals as possible. Their illness is in no way AIDS related. , Editor's note: Jamei Greig is a member of the Canadian Public Health Association and author of the book "AIDS: What - Every Responsible Canadian Should Know". 0 you have a question about AIDS. write to AlipS Airlareliesiti 10- Tempo Avenuev...
