Manitoba Natives face increased risk of AIDS

Page 2

Manitoba Natives stand an increased risk of catching AIDS, because information about the killer virus isn't available in Native languages, say two Winnipeg homosexual organizations and health care officials. A video in Cree and Ojibway explaining the disease and preventive measures is planned. At least two Natives are said to be among the 25 people, who have died of AIDS-related causes in Manitoba. Several Natives are also said to have recently joined the list of more than 40 Manitobans, who have tested positive for the AIDS virus.
