Hiv/aids Treatment Success Story Opens Up Many Possibilities

The research done in the laboratory is translated in real time to patients thanks to a sophisticated centralized database and strong network of physicians in B.C. The simultaneous analysis of both patient and disease genomes, coupled with major technological leaps in the last decade, cracked the HIV/AIDS conundrum wide open, saving countless lives, and tens of millions of health care dollars. Personalized HIV treatments have reduced HIV deaths and disease in B.C. by more than 90 per cent. Furthermore, since the treatments work by reducing the amount of virus in people, they become less infectious. It is estimated that preventing 50 new HIV infections per year over five years would result in direct drug savings of $11.25 million – and that doesn’t include the decrease in medical costs for HIV patients (Canada spends $1 billion on HIV drug cocktail therapies annually) and lost productivity.
