Urban Health Research Initiative of the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS

The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) is Canada’s largest HIV/AIDS research, treatment and education facility—nationally and internationally recognized as an innovative world leader in combating HIV/AIDS and related diseases. The made-in-BC Treatment as Prevention® strategy (TasP® ) pioneered by Dr. Julio Montaner, inspired the ambitious global UNAIDS 90-90-90 Target to end AIDS as a global pandemic by 2030. The BC-CfE is applying the proven-effective and costs-saving TasP® strategy to therapeutic areas beyond HIV/AIDS through a Targeted Disease Elimination® (TDE® ) model. The aim of the innovative TDE® approach is to monitor and evaluate health interventions in order to direct them to where they are most needed. This approach could help curb contagious diseases and diseases with a social contagion factor, while contributing to health care sustainability by reducing new cases of illness.
