From the City of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside Revitalization webpage in 1999, under Community Health. Describes the health problems in the community, including HIV/AIDS which was declared a public health crisis in 1997, as well as syphilis, for which there was an increase in rates from 1997-1999. At this point in time, the city was considering how to move forward with a new and holistic approach to community health.
