The stigma of HIV-AIDS weighs heaviest on certain communities but it is a global issue, says Clemon George, a professor and HIV-AIDS researcher at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.
“HIV is a chronic infection that affects everyone,” he said in an interview Wednesday at the Italian Cultural Centre in Halifax, where he gave the keynote address at an event sponsored by the Nova Scotia Advisory Commission on AIDS marking World AIDS Day.
“There is no issue with race being a factor that we have to be worried about because it affects all races,” George said. “We must work together as a community.”
George is an epidemiologist who has studied HIV-AIDS in Ontario’s African-Canadian and Caribbean-Canadian communities.
