A provincial initiative to enhance early diagnosis and treatment of HIV with the goal of changing the course of
the epidemic
•3 year, $48 million pilot project •Two pilot sites: Vancouver & Prince George•Evaluation:
• Was diagnosis improved?• Are more people on treatment?• Did we change the course of the epidemic?
Seek & Treat to Optimally Prevent (STOP) HIV/AIDS
55
STOP HIV/AIDS Project Goals • Reduce HIV/AIDS cases in Prince George &
Vancouver Inner City• Improve early detection of HIV• Ensure timely access to high-quality & safe
HIV/AIDS care & treatment• Improve client experience in every step of
HIV/AIDS journey• Demonstrate system & cost-optimization

Data as a transformative tool
• Population-level monitoring• Establish current system / program
performance and identify gaps• Set common goals, outcome measures, targets• Program-level evaluation• Establish a common culture and articulate
expectations

Innovation in HIV Prevention
• Health Promotion Case Managers for HIV- people
• NP for HIV- Gay men
12
Innovation in HIV Testing
• Routine offer of an HIV test in acute and primary care
• Routine offer of HIV test in key settings (abortion clinics, MH&A programs)
• Peers POC testers• Dental and pharmacy POC• First Nations wellness approach
13
Innovation in HIV Treatment & Support
• Clinical outreach pods• Dear Dr. letters• Monitoring retention in care
14
Rapid Cycle Monitoring and Adjustment
• Quarterly population level reports– Volumes of HIV tests performed by setting– Contacts elicited and tested– % positivity– CD4 count at diagnosis– Sustained viral suppression
• 6 month evaluation reports by individual initiative

4. Hope to Health - Goals: 1. Reduce the number of new HIV infections in British Columbia.2. Improve the quality, effectiveness, and reach of HIV prevention services.3. Diagnose those living with HIV as early as possible in the course of their infection.4. Improve quality and reach of HIV support services for those living and vulnerable
to HIV.5. Reduce the burden of advanced HIV infection on the health system.
5. Hope to Health – Milestones for achievement: 1. By 2016, rates of HIV testing in each health service delivery area (HSDA) will be
at or above 3,500 per 100,000 people, each HSDA will have increased HIV testing by at least 50 percent.
2. By 2016, the proportion of people diagnosed early in the course of their infection will meet or exceed 50 percent in each health authority.
3. By 2016, of those diagnosed early in the course of their infection, there will be zero case reports of progression to AIDS.
4. By 2016, at least 90 percent of those medically eligible to access HIV treatment in each health authority will be on treatment.

Structural Interventions
Activities designed to alter environmental features so as to create a more enabling environment for HIV prevention, treatment and care and support.
· Community Development/Capacity Building
· Social Mobilization· Service Access Assessment (i.e. Supply
& Availability)· Policy, Legislation & Regulation· Advocacy· Social Supports (e.g. Employment,
Income Supports, Food Security)
Biomedical Interventions
Focus on biological and medical approaches to reducing HIV infection and disease progression.
· Harm reduction supplies (e.g. syringe services & condoms)
· HIV Testing· ART Treatment as prevention· STI Testing/Treatment· PEP/PrEP· Prevention of Mother to Child
Transmission· Partner notification
Behavioural Interventions
Attempt to motivate change, increase targeted positive behaviours, and reduce non-adaptive behaviours at an individual, group, and community level through addressing beliefs, motivations, and skill-building approaches.
· Health Promotion & Skills building
· Education· Social marketing· Intensive HIV Prevention Case

& ongoing)
1. Reduce the number of HIV infections in British Columbia.Evidence-informed health promotion, HIV prevention, testing and care will be implemented.
2. Improve the quality, effectiveness, and reach of HIV prevention services.British Columbians vulnerable to infections will be better engaged to avoid HIC exposure and transmission.

• Routine testing means offering routinely, diagnostic testing when symptomatic or identified risk
• There is an assumption to provide risk based testing across all population and settings

1. BC’s Expanded Chronic Care Model
* Supports available to care providers/teams include:
· Preceptorship· PG guidelines· Collaborative· BCCfE – data linkage· Continued Medical Education· Health care provider in-service· Pharmacy· HIV test course/STI practice certification/
PCRS/POC· Reach line· MH and Addictions Teams· Nutritionists· ID Specialists· Registry· CD Nurses· CDC
3. Hope to Health Engaging & Retaining People in Care:
· By 2015, this proportion of clients on HIV therapy receiving standard of care laboratory monitoring will increase by 50%.
· By 2016, the proportion of all clients on HIV therapy who are currently virally suppressed (i.e. viral load is less than 200 copies/ml) will increase by 50%.
· By 2016, all health authorities will have initiated and evaluated client engagement and client satisfaction activities.

Key Lessons in Systems Transformation
• Resources, outcomes and accountability must be seen from a population level
• Data and performance measurement are critical tools for identifying, motivating and quantifying system transformation
• Don’t be afraid to be messy or wrong – everything can be cleaned up later
