A Prince George pilot project aimed at stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS will be expanded to include the entire province. Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS was piloted in both Prince George and Vancouver and has been given the green light to expand to the rest of the province. “For the north, we did a lot of outreach beyond the boundaries of Prince George all along in the project,” said Ulrich. “So it’s really about expanding those discussions and the work that we’ve done with our staff across the north.” The project aims to reduce the number of new infections in the province, improve the quality, effectiveness and reach of prevention programs, diagnose people earlier and improve the quality of services available to people living with HIV or at risk of contracting the virus.
