President’s Message

It is a great honour and privilege to take on the role of CAHR President for the next two years. With a membership of more than 1,000 researchers and others interested in HIV research, the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) is the leading organization of HIV researchers in Canada. I look forward to working with you to achieve our mandate of promoting excellence in HIV research, fostering collaboration, mentoring the next generation of researchers and supporting knowledge translation.

Of course, CAHR is best known for its annual conference and with this in mind I would like to thank the researchers, community members, policy makers and others from coast to coast who came to Vancouver this past April. The 22nd Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research (CAHR 2013) allowed the nearly 900 attendees to share the latest scientific advances in the field, learn from one another’s expertise, and develop new ways to treat and prevent HIV. All of the major sessions from the Conference can be found on the CAHR website, as well as an retrospective of the meeting as a whole. In the coming months an overview of the conference sessions will appear as a supplement in the Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases & Medical Microbiology. I hope you enjoyed this year’s conference andfound it to be a worthwhile learning experience. I thank you for your contributions, participation and support.

Bob Hogg, PhD

Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR)
Director; Epidemiology and Population Health Program, BC-Cfe

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
