This CATIE statement was developed to help service providers in Canada evaluate and adapt their programs where necessary and advocate for evidence-based improvements to the distribution of harm reduction supplies.

This resource provides information about PrEP as an HIV prevention option for people who use drugs, as well as tips for service providers on how they can support access and adherence to PrEP for people who use drugs.  

HIV cannot be passed on through sex when a person living with HIV is on treatment and the amount of HIV in their blood remains very low.

When HIV treatment lowers the amount of virus in the blood to less than 200 copies per millilitre of blood, it is called viral suppression. When someone is virally suppressed, they cannot pass on HIV to others through sex.
Viral suppression: Less than 200 copies/ml
Viral load: Refers to the amount of HIV in the blood. Regular viral load testing every 4 to 6 months is the only way to know if an individual has reached viral suppression.

HIV Positive. Living Positive.
The science is clear.
HIV treatment helps people living with HIV to stay healthy and can prevent it from being passed on

Certaines veines du corps présentent moins de risques que d’autres pour une injection. Cette affiche de réduction des méfaits montre les zones qui sont plus sécuritaires, celles qui sont à éviter et celles qui sont dangereuses. On y suggère également d’alterner les points d’injection pour accélérer la guérison et prévenir les méfaits comme une infection, une lésion aux veines, un caillot de sang ou un saignement qui ne s’arrête pas.

Cette déclaration de CATIE a été préparée afin d’aider les prestataires de services au Canada à évaluer et adapter leurs programmes lorsque nécessaire et à demander des améliorations fondées sur des données probantes à la distribution du matériel de réduction des méfaits.
