Nova Scotians Need Improved Access to PrEP

Nova Scotians urgently need increased access to PrEP to reduce HIV incidence among the populations most heavily affected, including gay, bi, queer, and other men who have sex with men. This past summer, the Atlantic Canadian province saw a spike in new HIV cases, with 16 cases reported as of June – double what public health officials would expect at that point in the year.

Prep’ing for PrEP in Alberta

On October 1, 2018 Alberta Health began offering PrEP at no-cost to eligible Albertans. And while we're as excited about that as you are, what may be less clear is all of the hard work that went into making this happen. Fortunately, our CBRC Advance team members in Alberta had a front-row view.
