Hospital urges HIV blood test for recipients between ¢78-'85 By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Officials at Community Me- morial Hospital are urging all patients who received blood transfusions during a seven- year period to undergo a test for the HIV virus. Last week, officials from the Port Perry-based hospital ap- pealed through the media for all those who received a transfu- sion from 1978 to 1985 to under- go the simple blood test by their family doctor. Dr. Michael Gilmour, Medical Staff President at CMH, said this campaign is part of an ini- tiative by the Ontario Hospital Association "to launch a joint province-wide education pro- gram to get the message to the public that everyone who re- ceived, or may have received, a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985 should get an HIV test." According to Dr. Gilmour, these are the years in which the virus which causes AIDS was first detected and when the Rad Cross began testing blood and blood products for the deadly disease. Connie Jamieson, manager of Human Resources at CMH, es- timates 700 to 800 transfusions were performed during that pe- riod to approximately 200 to 250 people. And although the hospital has begun the process of con- tacting these people, she said the hospital has run into prob- lems as many have moved from the area. But some have also taken the initiative in contacting the hos- pital as there has been eight in- quiries in the past month. Those with questions about their past medical history can contact Community Memorial Hospital's Health Records De- partment for further informa- tion and counselling on how to go about receiving the test. "The medical staff hope that all patients who are at risk of HIV, due to a hospital transfu- sion during these years, will seek their physician for counsel- ling. As usual, our professional counselling will be strictly confi- dential," Dr. Gilmour said. This campaign is part of the OHA's aim to inform the public of the health risks of the HIV vi- rus. "We must stop the transmis- sion of the HIV virus," Dr. Gil- mour said. "We must stop this and alter the lifestyle of the peo- ple." Council, fair board bogged down on lease agreement By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star There has been very little progress concerning a lease agreement for the Port Perry Fairgrounds. The Township of Scugog and the Port Perry Agricultural So- ciety have been trying to ham- mer out a lease agreement for sometime, but have reached log- gerheads over the terms of a portion of the lease. Of particular concern is the wording of the termination clause. The township attempted to write a clause into the lease which gave it the right to ter- mininate the lease with 12 month's notice. But the fair board balked ar- guing it was tantamount to a one-year lease. The fair board on the other hand is seeking a 10-year lease. Both sides are refusing to budge on the issue, which many say could be resolved if the issue is resolved. "If council is willing to give them a 10-year lease, this thing could be wrapped up," Ward 4 Councillor David Dietlein said recently. But it appears it will be some- time before an agreement is ac reached. A meeting scheduled for last week was cancelled on short notice, with no future date set. And many are getting anx- ious to see the issue resolved. Mayor Howard Hall, who has been attempting to hammer out the lease, expressed concern the issue has been dragged out. "I'm just sorry we couldn't meet (last week)," he said. "I thought we were close to getting asettlement." Mayor Hall had hoped to have the issue settled by the end of June but is not confident they will meet this deadline. He is now targetting mid-July as the earliest possible date. "I'm still optimistic that rea- sonable people can resolve the differences," he said. The mayor defended the township's tough stand on the issue, noting it was not unrea- sonable in the conditions of the termination clause. "I felt we had a pretty good lease that was flexible enough to allow the fair board to do pro- Jects over the next 10 years," he said. "It's unfortunate that the termination clause is holding thisup." SCOTT ANDERSON / PORT PERRY STAR Officials at Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry are urging all potential blood transfusion recipients from1978 to 1985 to get in contact with the Health Records Department at the hospital to ensure the blood was not tainted with blood which cause HIV.
