Pilot project to expand HIV testing in Vancouver hospitals

Beginning October 3, 2011 physicians will begin offering HIV tests to every patient requiring blood work who is admitted to St. Paul’s and Mount Saint Joseph hospitals.

Testing will be offered to patients at Vancouver General in November, and at UBC hospital in 2012.

The project, a joint initiative between Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care, will end in March 2013. After that, the results will be analyzed and considered for expansion.

The tests will require consent of patients, and the results will remain confidential.
