Have your say about routine HIV testing in hospitals
As part of the STOP HIV/AIDS project, we began routine HIV testing over one year ago. As the first pilot of its kind in Canada, it has now become a province-wide program.
We would like your feedback on HIV and HIV testing

This is a follow-up survey to our first one, conducted in 2011.
Between October 2011 and September 31, 2012 more than 6,000 tests were completed at the four Vancouver hospitals, four times higher than the same time period in 2011. Overall, more than 25 new HIV diagnoses were made in Vancouver hospitals through September 2012. The acceptance rate is equally compelling, with 94% of eligible patients accepting an HIV test when offered.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you’d like a copy of the survey results, please email anathoo@providencehealth.bc.ca to be put on the distribution list.
We would like to thank you for your leadership and support in this initiative.
