HAART has been shown to decrease HIV transmission • Vertical (MTCT) Setting • Heterosexual Sero-discordant Couples • Injection Drug Users Cohort • Mathematical Models
Unique Study Features: • Population Based • Free Access to HAART and Medical Monitoring • Centralized Data Capture / Single Source • Access to Blood Borne Dxs – BCCDC • Retrospective & Prospective Phases

Incidence/yr Acquired resistance falling 90 80 70 60 Plasma viral load suppression rising Viral load < 50/mL (%)
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
“Provincial Viral Load” All Patients Ever Tested for Plasma HIV-1-Viral Load in BC Censoring at the time of Death or Move

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)
