In this analysis, we evaluated self-reported HIV care experiences and therapeutic outcomes among people diagnosed with HIV prior to and after implementation of this provincial program. All participants consented to linking their survey data to the provincial HIV treatment registry.
Individuals diagnosed with HIV from January 1 βDecember 31 were classified as pre-intervention and those diagnosed January 1 βDecember 31 as post-intervention cohorts. Bivariate analyses were run using Chi-square and Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests. We found favourable treatment experiences and more timely ART initiation and virologic suppression after a targeted TasP provincial program.
Our results illustrate the importance of accessible low-barrier HIV testing and treatment in tackling the HIV epidemic.
