The widespread availability of antiretroviral therapy has made the fight against HIV a great deal easier. But like a horse without a rider, these medications can't go the distance alone. Working closely with their medical provider, clients/patients need to choose and monitor their treatment carefully. This is because of obstacles that can arise before and during treatment; with one of the most important being HIV drug resistance. Fortunately, there is a lot of knowledge and resources available to assist clients/patients with how to reduce the risk of drug resistance. This training will provide participants with an understanding of how drug resistance to HIV treatment medications develops and how to work with clients/patients who are experiencing drug resistance. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: define drug resistance; comprehend the importance of treatment adherence; and understand the impact of drug resistance on HIV treatment. CEU credits are available for this course.

We agreed that our first priority is to develop an “ideal world” harm reduction strategy for ourselves, and then reach out to community action groups in other centres across Canada for buy-in, and present the Harper Conservatives with OUR vision for a strategy that reduces harm – including the harm that comes from the enforcement of prohibition that just isn’t working. Please join us.
