History
In late 1987, the Task Force on AIDS was established to conduct a wide-ranging, full-scale review of all matters relating to AIDS and HIV in Nova Scotia. The task force was to identify and prioritize issues of concern, hear input from individuals and organizations across the province, and make recommendations to government. Three working groups were established within the task force to study three areas of concern: the legal and ethical issues surrounding HIV-positive persons and persons with AIDS; public information and education programs; and the impact of AIDS on private and public health care. The twenty-one member task force, chaired by W. Andrew MacKay, held public hearings throughout the province in March 1988. Task force members visited England, Australia, New Zealand, Boston, San Francisco, and Vancouver to examine AIDS policies. In September 1988 the task force submitted its final report to the Minister of Health. The report contained forty-seven recommendations relating to AIDS education, care and financial support of HIV-infected persons and ensuring the rights of HIV-infected persons.
