In response to a troubling increase in HIV infections in Alberta, a coalition of doctors has been formed to address the public health crisis. Recent reports indicate that new HIV cases in Canada are on the rise, raising concerns among health advocates who state that advancements made over the years in managing the virus are at risk. Factors contributing to this increase include cutbacks in global aid, which may further exacerbate the issue.
