Treatment as Prevention¨ is based on the concept, pioneered by the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE), all those diagnosed with HIV should be provided full and immediate access to HIV antiretrovirals. On sustained treatment and care, a person living with HIV experiences improved quality of life and longevity. On treatment, their viral load rapidly decreases and eventually reaches undetectable levels, greatly reducing the likelihood they will transmit HIV.
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’.
