Vancouver STOP HIV Community Consultations
Seek and Treat
to Optimally Prevent (STOP) HIV/AIDS
February 5, 2012 - VANCOUVER, BC - Seek and Treat to Optimally Prevent (STOP) HIV/AIDS is a pilot
project funded by the BC Ministry of Health to expand HIV testing, treatment and support services in BC, with the overall goal of reducing HIV incidence.
From its initial stages, the STOP project has identified community partnership as critical to an accountable, responsive and effective project. For the Vancouver
arm of STOP, community representative Kath Webster has worked with Community Engagement staff Margreth Tolson of Vancouver Coastal
Health to plan and conduct semi-annual discussion groups with members of the public. We are committed to community involvement throughout the STOP project's four-year
period (2010 - 2013), hearing from people living with, or at risk for HIV about elements of service that hinder or facilitate access, and potential strategies to improve
the current system of care.
