In a previous column, I criticized
the Canadian Medical Association
t and the Ontario Medical Association
for the communications error of
making it known that they had
advised physicians who may be
• AIDS -virus (HIV-infected) carriers
to make their condition known 'to
their local medical officer of health.
This'action; as reported in the
press:
implied that the public had some
reason to concerned should their
doctors be AIDS -virus positive.
This is Simply not the case. A
doctor tan infect a patient only in
the course of a sexual -relationship.
