The perrod between 1978 and 1985 is being specifiâ€" cally targeted because, prior to 1985, blood and blood products were not yet tested for the HIV virus, which is believed to cause AIDS. Physicians and public health staff will also play an important role by recommending and carrying out the HIV testing The $25,000 cost to run the campaign will be shared equally by the three hospitals. Posters, radio and newspaper advertisements and telephone information lines will be used to get the message out to Waterioo Region residents.

They studied the option of reviewing the files of each patient treated between 1978 and 1985, and directly contacting those who received blood. Howâ€" ever, this method was shown to reach only between 20 and 40 per cent of those at risk. The campaign will be implemented in two phases. The first began Monday and will last for two weeks.

One patient, he said, died of AIDS in the late 1980s, after being treated with an HIV contaminated blood product at St. Mary‘s Hospital.
