About this service
A recent report on HIV in Nova Scotia provided the first comprehensive snapshot of surveillance data related to race, gender, ethnicity and HIV. The report demonstrated that African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities account for the second largest race/ethnicity group, at about 10%, of all cases of HIV in Nova Scotia.
The report also revealed that 40% of these cases were in women, which is higher than the overall percentage of female cases. Since ACB communities account for a small percentage of the overall population, this statistic is significant. We believe that creating partnerships with local ACB-serving organizations and community groups is the best way for our communities to address these issues and to deliver resources and information directly to those at risk.
