Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) have been disproportionally affected by the HIV epidemic in British Columbia (BC). Since 2010, Treatment as Prevention¨ (TasP¨) has been adopted as a public health policy in BC to maximize health care engagement of people living with HIV and improve virologic suppression, and as a result, to reduce secondary new infections. However, TasP¨ has been relatively less responsive in reducing HIV transmission among MSM than in other populations in BC, which calls for further optimization and combination with other preventive strategies.
