Disparities in access to HIV care and treatment, including access to antiretroviral (ARV)-prescribing physicians, exist in Canada. This HIV Pulse measures the number of ARV-prescribing physicians by region in BC and outlines their characteristics. Profiled here are those who prescribed ARVs between January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013, based on the data from the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program.
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’.
