British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS Treatment as Prevention: HAART Expansion - A Powerful Strategy to Reduce AIDS Morbidity and Mortality and HIV Incidence Julio Montaner MD, FRCPC, FCCP, FRSC Director, BC-Centre for Excellence on HIV/AIDS, Providence Health Care Professor of Medicine and Head, Division of AIDS, University of British Columbia President, International AIDS Society IAC, 2010, Vienna
HAART Can Reduce HIV Transmission HAART stops HIV replication HIV levels fall to undetectable in blood as well as in sexual fluids Sharp reduction in HIV transmission
Prevention Strategies - Education - Change in behavoir - Harm reduction - New strategies/technology - Vaccines Existing strategies have failed to contain the global HIV pandemic
Impact of HAART on IDUs Morbidity and Mortality Incidence

Highest HIV-1- Plasma Viral load per Year Non IDU IDU Ever on Treatment & Censoring at the time of Death or Move The proportion of HIV infected IDUs engaged in care in BC with plasma viral load >1500 c/mL, as a surrogate for “high” community HIV-1-viral load, decreased from ~50% in 2000-04 to ~20% in 2009 (p<0.001) Montaner et al, Lancet 2010

Hepatitis C, 1999-2008 Infectious Syphilis, 1999-2008 2004 • BC • BC 2004 x Canada x Canada Genital Chlamydia, 1999-2008 Gonorrhea, 1999-2008 x Canada • BC x Canada • BC 2004 2004
Key Findings: Overall correlation between the number of pts on HAART and the number of new HIV cases diagnosed per year was -0.89 (p<0.0001) For every 100 additional patients on HAART, the number of new HIV cases decreased by a factor of 0.97 (95% CI 0.96-0.98) • ie: new HIV diagnoses fell by 3%. For every 1 log10 decrease in viral load, the number of new HIV cases decrease by a factor of 0.86 (95% CI 0.75-0.98)
