PrEP and TasP¨ modelling shows need for optimization

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.

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’.
