HIV Non-Disclosure and the Criminal Law: Establishing Policy Options for Ontario

Dear Expert Advisory Committee Members,

I am writing to provide you with a final copy of the report: HIV Non-Disclosure and the Criminal Law: Establishing Policy Options for Ontario. Many thanks to you for your support of the project and a special note of gratitude to all of you who were able to provide comments and suggestions on the draft report. Also attached is a research summary of the report prepared by York University's Knowledge Mobilization Unit.

Chapter 4 of the report was recently presented in a late-breaker oral session at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna. We have also presented the report to the Ministry of the Attorney General in a meeting with a representative from the Criminal Law Division and will continue to try to open the doors at MAG with our work. We are working with the KTE Units at York University and at OHTN on future "knowledge translation and exchange" initiatives for the report which include meetings with MAG, media coverage and a possible follow-up stake-holders' dialogue project on prosecutorial guidelines.

We plan to have the report "hosted" at a few websites. Once that is firmed up i will pass along the information to you.

If you have any suggestions around KTE for the report please let me know. And please do circulate the report within your networks!!

Many thanks,

Eric
