Acknowledgements: National level HIV and AIDS surveillance is possible as a result of all provinces and territories participating in, and setting directions for, HIV and AIDS surveillance. Accordingly, the Public Health Agency of Canada acknowledges the provincial/territorial HIV/AIDS coordinators, laboratories, health care providers and reporting physicians for providing the non–nominal confidential data that enable this report to be published. Without their close collaboration and participation in HIV and AIDS surveillance, the publication of this report would not have been possible.

Information to the readers of HIV and AIDS in Canada
On behalf of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section, we would like to present you with a report entitled HIV and AIDS in Canada: Selected Surveillance Tables to June 30, 2009. Within this report, you'll find key tables that provide a summary of the HIV and AIDS surveillance data to June 30, 2009. Please note that the tables are not numbered consecutively as they have been numbered to match those in the year-end surveillance report. A complete listing of tables included in the 2008 year-end surveillance report is available in the report entitled HIV and AIDS in Canada: Surveillance Report to December 31, 2008 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/AIDS-sida/publication/survreport/index-eng.php).
The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section is part of the Surveillance and Risk Assessment Division, which is located in the Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control. This Section is responsible for the data collection and management, analysis and report production related to this HIV and AIDS in Canada report series. In addition, we continue to improve data quality, define and set surveillance standards, as well as support the use of these data to influence programmatic and policy action.
A further description of HIV and AIDS surveillance data is available in the HIV/AIDS Epi Updates reports that are also available on our website: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/aids-sida/publication/index-eng.php#er.
The publication of this report would not be possible without the submission of HIV and AIDS surveillance data from all provinces and territories. Their ongoing contribution to national HIV and AIDS surveillance is gratefully acknowledged and is further listed in Appendix 5.
