Re-engagement and Engagement in Treatment for Antiretroviral Interrupted and Naïve Populations (RETAIN) is BC-CfE initiative that aims to reach patients who have stopped accessing HIV treatment and care by linking these individuals to outreach teams across the province.

An HIV prevention program, available at no cost to people at high risk of HIV, is enrolling over 400 participants Ð primarily men who have sex with men (MSM) Ð every month right across BC. PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily oral antiretroviral medication that prevents new HIV infection when taken consistently.
