BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS research shows strategy to reduce deaths, new infections.
The executive director of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS is calling on governments across the country and abroad to implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce deaths and infections after new research identified solutions towards the goal of an HIV-free generation.
“Our results confirm that adding targeted PrEP to TasP is a critical component of an effective HIV prevention strategy,” Montaner said in a news release. ART suppresses the amount of HIV in biological fluids, such as semen or blood, to undetectable levels. As a result, people living with HIV are no longer infectious and can enjoy a near normal lifespan, free of AIDS.
Additionally, the study evaluated the relative contributions of ART, TasP and PrEP on HIV infections in B.C. For every 100 people living with HIV actively on ART under the provincewide TasP strategy, the estimated HIV incidence rate decreased by 2.5 per cent.
