B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS

B.C. HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program

The Centre distributes anti-HIV drugs based on guidelines generated by the Therapeutic Guidelines Committee, made-up of physicians, pharmacists, virologists, health service researchers and economists. Drugs are distributed free of charge to HIV-positive residents of B.C. Currently, nearly 3,500 HIV-positive persons are accessing therapy in the province. Information from all recipients is entered into a database, providing data for clinical and virological outcome studies of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. These studies form the basis of further revisions to the guidelines. The Drug Treatment Program database also acts as a registry of HIV-treating physicians in the province.
