Drug Treatment Program Update As of March 211
Drug Treatment Program Update A key component of the Centre s mandate is to monitor the impact of HIV/AIDS on British Columbia. The Centre provides essential information to local health authorities, treating physicians and the community-at-large on an ongoing basis. The Drug Treatment Program Update is one example of the Centre s commitment. In B.C., all anti-hiv medications are distributed at no cost to eligible HIV-infected individuals through the Centre s Drug Treatment Program (DTP). The DTP Update provides an important overview of available anti-hiv drugs, common drug combinations and distribution of active DTP participants throughout the province. DTP participants are typically followed at three-monthly intervals at which time routine blood sampling is performed. Information from all recipients is entered into a database, providing data for clinical and virological outcome studies of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. These studies form the basis of ongoing revisions to the Centre s treatment guidelines. HIV/AIDS continues to be a pressing concern in B.C. As of March 211, 5,656 persons were receiving anti-retrovirals or other anti-hiv medications from the DTP.

PI (Protease Inhibitor): an antiretroviral drug that binds to and blocks HIV protease from working, thus preventing the production of new functional viral particles. MDRT (Multiple Drug Rescue Therapy, Mega-HAART): the use of five or more antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV, typically some or all of which have been used previously by the individual. 1 or more PI: a combination therapy regimen of four or fewer antiretroviral drugs, including one unboosted PI or two or more PIs with or without a small (less than 8mg daily) additional dose of ritonavir. Boosted PI: a combination therapy regimen of four or fewer antiretroviral drugs, including one PI and a small (less than 8mg daily) additional dose of ritonavir. The addition of ritonavir inhibits metabolism of other PIs and improves their exposure. This may allow for decreased dosing frequency or pill burden and may improve adherence and antiretroviral activity. NNRTI/no PI: a combination therapy regimen of four or fewer antiretroviral drugs, including an NNRTI, but no PIs. Other: a combination therapy regimen of four or fewer antiretroviral drugs, other than MDRT, 1 or more PI, Boosted PI, NNRTI/no PI (e.g. Triple NRTI regimen). 16
