Safer supply programs: Discussions on medication diversion, sharing, and selling
Discussions with participants highlighted the importance of understanding why medication diversion occurs. Important factors influencing medication diversion included the need for safety, compassion, meeting needs, survival, and coercion faced by people who use drugs. Ultimately, medication diversion can be best understood as a measure implemented by people who use drugs to protect and care for their underserved community
Targeted HIV Self-Testing Identifies Persons with Undiagnosed HIV and Active Engagement Links them to Care: The GetaKit Study
Current international HIV testing guidelines recommend that HIV negative persons from HIV priority groups complete repeat screening every 3-6 months; local guidelines in our jurisdiction recommend that such retesting should occur every 3 months. Such an approach allows for timely HIV diagnosis and linkage to care - and aligns with the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets to have 95% of undiagnosed persons be aware of their HIV status. To meet these aims, new …
Understanding the Perspectives of Women Who Use Intravenous Drugs and are Experiencing Homelessness in an Urban Centre in Canada: An Analysis of Ethnographic Data
Injection drug use has long been a topic of investigation, whether through a health or criminal justice lens. Whilst these bodies of literature offer important perspectives, missing from the extant literature is evidence, particularly involving women who use drugs, and more specifically evidence about the health beliefs of these women. To address this knowledge gap, we undertook an ethnographic study of homeless women in downtown Ottawa who injec…
Active-Offer Nurse-Led PrEP (PrEP-RN) Referrals: Analysis of Uptake Rates and Reasons for Declining
While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective HIV prevention strategy, its uptake is limited. To address barriers, we piloted a nurse-led PrEP clinic in an STI clinic and had public health nurses refer patients during STI follow-up. We recorded the number of PrEP offers and declines and clinic uptake. We conducted a thematic analysis of patients' responses from nursing notes written at the time patients declined PrEP. From August 6, 2018 …
Active-offer PrEP for HIV prevention: Control, discipline, and public health nursing practice
Whereas public health efforts to prevent HIV transmission used to focus exclusively on HIV diagnosis and reductions in the practices that transmit HIV, they now include the provision of HIV medication to HIV-negative persons before potential contacts when transmission could occur; this is known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). To increase PrEP uptake, recent efforts have begun to include the provision of PrEP referrals by public health nurses …
