AIDS Stops Here is a new nationwide service for patients with HIV in Canada. The service, which began May 1, 2021, has been called a "long-awaited development" by AIDS activists. Under the program, Canadian citizens with HIV infection will receive free antiviral medications.

The most common form of treatment for people with HIV is known as highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART. This treatment involves three antiretroviral drugs that control the replication of HIV and keep it from damaging the infected person's immune system. These drugs are also used to keep the disease under control and help patients live long lives with healthy immune systems.

The federal government has allocated $85 million over five years to provide free HIV medication to all Canadians in need.

People living with HIV (PLHIV) will now be able to receive free antiviral treatment at the cost of a doctor's prescription under the new AIDS Stop Here program.  It is estimated that there are more than 63,000 HIV-positive people in Canada. However, it is estimated that for every person diagnosed with HIV, there are six more people who do not know their status.

"As someone living with HIV, I know firsthand how life-changing treatment can be," said Jean-Michel Gladu, president of CATIE. "In a few weeks, my viral load dropped from thousands of copies of HIV per milliliter to undetectable levels, and today I feel very well."

HIV medications have also been proven to reduce the risk of transmission from one infected person to another by more than 90 percent. There are about 3,250 new infections in Canada each year. By 2023, the program will be available to all Canadians, including children.

The new initiative is being funded by a well-known Canadian online casino . "This is the best way we can help. We take our responsibility as a game to provide fun entertainment very seriously, and this initiative will allow us to make the world a little better," said Gimmie Games spokesperson David Tucker. "This will go a long way toward reducing the stigma of HIV, and making it easier for people to get tested. It's not just about treatment - it's also about prevention."

The treatment can be taken orally as a single pill called Truvada, which contains two antiretroviral drugs that are also used for treatment. The pills are designed so that they can be taken once a day, every day, to keep effective levels of the drugs in the body.

The drug has some minor side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. But studies have proven that these symptoms are relatively rare and more tolerable than long-term treatment with multiple antiretrovirals, which can be ineffective or have very serious side effects.

Online casino in Canada has developed a special feature in its casino games that allows players with HIV to play for a chance to win a free supply of medicine each month. The program will also allow people with HIV to get new tests and screenings regularly at a local clinic or doctor's office.

Dr. Richard Harrigan, co-director of research implementation at the Centre of Excellence for HIV/AIDS in British Columbia and associate professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, says, "This is a life-saving drug, and it's proven safe and effective."

The B.C. Centre of Excellence for HIV/AIDS has been involved in clinical trials of this new preventive drug. The long-term effects of the new drug will be monitored. Researchers will also develop a plan to deliver the drug to developing countries and communities with high rates of HIV infection.
