New support for senior gay men

Discussion group and research project launch this fall

As the generation of gay men who felt the brunt of the early AIDS crisis in the 1980s ages, some community leaders say more attention must be paid to meeting their current and future needs.

This fall will see the launch of a new discussion group for senior gay men and a research project aimed at studying their needs.

Researcher Robert Ablenas is part of a health team, along with Scott Harrison and Trevor Corneil, that has received a one-year grant of $25,000 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The funding is being directed through Vancouver’s Health Initiative for Men, Ablenas says.

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’.
