(2000)3 Review of the Evidence on Risk of HIV Transmission associated
with Oral Sex The review was completed by the UK Chief Medical Officers' Expert Advisory
Group on AIDS in response to accumulating epidemiological evidence about
the risk of HIV transmission associated with oral sex. In 1998, new research concluded that the risk of HIV transmission associated
with oral sex might be greater than was previously supposed. Evidence
from clinical case reports and epidemiological studies has confirmed that
HIV can be transmitted through oral sex. An important conclusion of the
review is that although the risk per episode of exposure may be low, the
frequency of its occurrence may serve to increase its relative contribution
to overall HIV transmission. An electronic version is available Click

- "Listening to People": Consultation on the Reform of Social Services

"Listening to People", which seeks views on proposals to amend the complaints
procedures operating under the Children Act 1989 and the NHS and Community
Care Act 1990. The aim is to improve the present framework for dealing
with complaints, rather than start afresh with proposals for a new system.
