This document contains data from the WA AIDS Council on testing at an M Clinic between July and December. It includes charts on the age ranges and sexual histories of clients. It also speculates on whether M Clinic clients constitute a community and discusses other potential communities like FIFO workers. Finally, it shows statistics on where people were born and acquired HIV between 2001-2012.
