New Online Course for Health Professionals: HIV Treatment and Management

The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) and its Education and Training team has come out with an updated online course. Called HIV Treatment and Management, this free of charge course is available to all healthcare professionals in BC and will help support their continuing medical education needs.

HIV Treatment and Management allows learners to access up-to-date knowledge on the treatment and management of people living with HIV. Among the new elements of this course is a section on antiretrovirals initiation and switches, management of opportunistic infections, and a section on HIV in women which was developed by the team at the Oak Tree Clinic at BC Women’s.

The course, offering information applicable to clinical practice and quality patient care based on the latest BC-CfE treatment guidelines, is tailored to health care providers seeking to increase their knowledge on the treatment and management of people living with HIV.

If you find the course contents too advanced, please contact education@bccfe.ca for alternative learning materials. Successful completion of this course is a pre-requisite for the BC-CfE Intensive Preceptorship Training Program . As mentioned, HIV Treatment and Management is free of charge and an open enrolment course, allowing participants to register at any time during the year.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

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’.
