Abstract
A health study by researchers from Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences demonstrates that, while considerable progress has been made in preventing and treating HIV infection, disparities continue to exist in terms of access to and quality of care for women across Ontario. Targeted responses are needed in order to deliver universal, high-quality care throughout the province, particularly for older women, Aboriginal women and women who have emigrated from countries where HIV is endemic.
