This paper presents the history of AIDS in Canada with special attention to epidemiology, public policy, and social commentary. The interest in medical history sparked by the epidemic is studied in relation to its impact on public health measures. Conversely, the impact of the disease itself on the history of medicine is examined. AIDS seems to have had a greater impact on history in Canada than history has had on the Canadian response to AIDS.
本文介绍了加拿大艾滋病的历史,特别关注流行病学、公共政策和社会评论。研究了由该流行病引发的对医学史的兴趣与其对公共卫生措施的影响之间的关系。反之,也考察了疾病本身对医学史的影响。在加拿大,艾滋病对历史的影响似乎比对加拿大应对艾滋病的历史影响更大。
