Sw Sz Castlegar News November 27, 1985 REPORTING AID By DAVID JENSEN Laws cause confusion care = The ess ° The Canadian Red Cross’ has begun a’ countrywide program to test all blood donations for AIDS antibodies but a confusing tangle of provincial laws prevent a national : approach on what: to do with_information about a suspect donor. ; Health laws differ from province to province on whether AIDS — the deadly acquired immune deficiency syndrome that destroys the body’s ability to fight disease — is considered a reportable disease. The laws differ, too, on . whether positive test results of reportable diseases have to be passed on to public health officials. - Dr. John Derrick, director of the Red Cross project on AIDS, says the organization has been pressing the federal government to call a national conference of provincial health officials to fix a clear and consistent stance on the issue. Derrick hopes to have a consensus on how to handle the information in three to four weeks but admits “it’s going to be difficult. : ~ “We want a fair, unbiased method that will meet the Donors tested for AIDS requirements of public health safety,” Derrick says. “But you also can’t make the donors pay for all of society, since they're the only ones now facing mandatory testing. SCARE OFF DONORS - Derrick says he’s concerned that a drop in blood donations’ may result from misconceptions about the screening process, which began last week at an estimated annual cost of $5 million. . “We don’t want people to think there's a witchhunt on for the carriers of AIDS. Just because of AIDS antibody has been detected does not mean the person has the AIDS virus. “And even having the AIDS virus, it does not necessarily follow that the person will contract the disease. However, we will inform people if the virus is confirmed. Derrick says the Canadian Red Cross favors mandatory disclosure by a donor of his or her physician's name. The doctor would then be told by the Red Cross of its findings and the decision on whether to report the information to public health officials would be left with the doctor. Six provinces now consider AIDs a reportable disease — Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskat- chewan, Alberta and British Columbia — whife Nova Scotia and Manitoba are expected to soon adopt this policy. POLICIES VARY - But two provinces — Quebec and Newfoundland — do not consider AIDS a reportable disease and policies vary across the country on whether public health officials must be informed about positive test results of reportable di with these results unless there is no doctor available to counsel the donor,” says Jessamine. “In which case there are people at the public health office who can spent two to 2% hours talking with the patient about his circumstance: Dr. Margaret Somerville, an AIDS specialist at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, has said that the testing would likely cause a drop in donors because people don't want to find out if\they have AIDS antibodies. Such people would fear discrimination and couldn't truthfully answer questions on life insurance forms about the state of their health, she said. But Derrick believes:“it would be better to know than not to know. TAKE PRECAUTIONS “Most people would be practical about it and want to be able to watch for signs and take precautions to protect those around them from acquiring the disease.” He says the new screening program was started not because of fears that Red Cross blood is unsafe but because “there's a great deal‘of apprehension, probably much more. than there should be, about this horrible but extremely rare disease.” By last Monday, Red Cross officials had completed the screening of all existing stocks of blood through the use of the so-called ELISA or enzyme-linked test, which looks for an antibody connected with the AIDS virus. This test will be performed on all future fresh blood products. If the test result shows as positive, the blood is automatically rejected. But & sample of the donation -is further examined under the so-called Western Blot test, With the expected changes in Nova Scotia and Manitoba, five provinces would require reporting of confirmed cases of AIDS antibodies — Ontario, Saskat- chewan, Alberta, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. British Columbia, despite labelling AIDS as a reportable disease, does not require it to be reported to public health officials. At the other extreme, Newfoundland calls for reporting, but doesn’t consider AIDS a reportable disease. New Brunswick requires that even “suspected” cases be reported, although it does not define the grounds for suspicion. : = Quebec and Prince Edward Island have yet to make a decision on the matter. WORRIES UNFOUNDED Dr. Gordon Jessamine, chief of field epidemiology at the Laboratory Centre for. Disease Control in Ottawa, says any worries about confidentially being. broken through the reporting. of positive test results are unfounded. 5 Health officials don’t need to have a name included which the pi of an d-with the AIDs virus. : Dr. Jacob Nusbacher of the Toronto transfusion centre says the ELISA test is done relatively quickly in mass quantities while the Western Blot requires 48 hours in smaller samples. All Western Blot testing occurs in Toronto with outlying Red Cross centres waiting as much as three months for the results. “The ELISA test ends up eliminating a lot of blood that's OK, but we prefer to err on the safe side,” said Nusbacher. In the United States, only 20 to 25 per cent of initial positive results have been confirmed by the Western Blot test. And Derrick says only one person in 10 with a confirmed AIDS virus eventually actually develops the disease. Dr. Noel Buskard, medical director for the B.C. and Yukon Red Cross chapter, says 20 out of 5,165 donations had tested positive for the AIDS antibody but there have been no confirmed Western Blot test results.

We always seemed to start with the puck in our end instead of their end andI think that was'a real major part of why the power play wasn't going.”. ‘The Hawks started the game with only the 14th best penalty killing in the league, but Murray, Bill Gardner, Rick Patterson and Denis Savard did an excellent job of keeping the Canucks off balance. - “They've got a great power play and probably a few bounces and maybe they might have scored one or two,” said Gardner. “But we kept in them in their end trying to bles on Canucks Boudreau also scored for Chicago who took a 4-3 lead into the final period. . : The win was Chicago's second in less than a week over the slumping Canucks, who lost 2-0 in Chicago last Wednesday and now are 1-6 in their last seven games.

HELD IN CHECK In both games against the Black Hawks, Chicago has managed to shackle Vancouver's high-scoring line of Patrik Sundstrom, Tony Tanti and Petri Skriko — the NHL's hottest threesonie with 69 points in 15 games prior to Tuesday.

One sign was obvious Tuesday night, the Devils beat a team — Winnipeg Jets — that once gave them fits. . John MacLean scored on a 15-foot slap shot early in the third period to break a 3-3 tie and lead the Devils to a 4-3 National Hockey League victory. +. It was the Devils’ third victory in four games and their first over Winnipeg in seven contests. Elsewhere, it was: Calgary Flames 3, Quebec Nordiques 1; St. Louis Blues 5, Toronto Maple Leafs 1; and Chicago Black Hawks 5, Vancouver Canucks 3. “All in all, we're playing quite solid,” said Carpenter, whose Devils improved 13 points in his first season as coach. “We're improving and getting better. : “We've got good balance on the lines and it looks like we're playing as a unit.” The triumph raised New ater 2 record to 9-10-1 for 19 points. The Devils were 6-12-2 after 20 games last season for 14 points. The Devils had been 0-6-1 against Winnipeg in the recent years, but MacLean’s goal ended that streak. The right winger took a pass from Aaron Broten in the “right faceoff circle and beat Jets goalie Brian Hayward with a shot that went off the netminder’s pads. “| just turned and timed it right on net,” said MacLean. “I think I fooled him a little and the shot was a little knuckler that was spinning.” Rookie goalie Craig Billington protected the lead the final 15 minutes, posting his third victory in-as many starts. The loss was the third straight for Winnipeg, which has one more game left on a four-game road trip. The other two losses on ‘the trip have been by 8-1 margins. “I thought we played good enough to’ win,” said Jets captain Dale Hawerchuk, who scored two goals. “We weren't getting any calls though.” Hawerchuk had tied the game 3-3 with his second goal of the night with five seconds left in the second period, beating Billington with a 50-foot slap shot to the glove side. New Jersey had opened a 3-2 lead with two goals in the first five minutes of the second period. Rich Preston tied the score 2-2 at 2:26 of the second period, beating Hayward with a 10-foot wrist shot from the slot, while Greg Adams put New Jersey ahead a little more than two minutes later with a goal from in close.

Kirk Muller batted in a rebound of an Uli Hiemer shot on his third swipe to tie the game 1-1 four minutes later, but Watters beat Billington with a 25-foot shot on the ice with 1:36 to play in the period to put the Jets ahead. .
