outlining company policy for
dealing with employees infected
with the virus. Such information
can be included in existing in-
house communication mechan-
isms like newsletters or bulletin
boards.

Such foresight can determine
whether or not a rumoured or
actual case of AIDS in the
workplace will become a costly
corporate disaster.

The B.C. Centre for Disease
Control recently announced the
results of an AIDS antibody test
which covered 50,962 tests. Of
the 2,144 positively tested peo-
ple, 45 were under 20 years of
age, 87 were women, 39 hemo-
phitiacs, 36 multiple blood
transfusion recipients and 70
people contracted the disease
through heterosexual contacts.
The number of positive test
results should not be confused
with actual cases of AIDS —
there have'been only 371 cases of
AIDS in B.C. The rate at which
new cases were diagnosed has
slowed since 1986, and B.C. may
actually record fewer new cases
in 1988. Reported cases in the
northwest remain low, although
no exact figures are available.

This low rate, and our
geographical isolation, provides

us with the lead time to prepare
for dealing with more AIDS
cases in our community, Bower-
ing said. ‘We oan learn from the
experiences of other, larger cen-
tres.”

Hospitals in cities like Toron-
to and Vancouver who have had
many AIDS patients referred to
them can no longer handle the
load, Smaller hospitals through-
out the country including B.C.
will now be caring for people in-
fected with the AIDS virus. But
“people with AIDS spend very
little time in the hospital, most
of their time will be in the com-
munity. The community has to
be able to treat them in a caring,
compassionate manner, to dispel
panic, and to provide the best
possible medical treatment.
Time will tell if we’re ready,”
Bowering said.

The booklet contains a copy
of the AIDS policy currently in
use by B.C. Public Service , it
details available print and video
resources and guest speakers,
and lists those private sector
companies taking a leadership
role in developing their own
resource materials on AIDS in
the workplace. It is available
through the Skeena Health Unit
office. . |
