BC’s health care system is entering unchartered territory with the evolution of the HIV epidemic. According to the BC-CfE, one in two people on HIV treatment in BC are age 50 or older, compared with one in 10 two decades earlier. This means people with HIV are living to ages where seniors’ facilities become part of their health-care trajectory.

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’.
