a) CATIE’s 2010 Regional Educational Conferences.

CATIE hosts two-day Regional Educational Conferences in collaboration with local AIDS services organizations and steering committees to meet specific regional information and networking needs.

The 2010 Western Educational Conference was co-hosted by AIDS Saskatoon <http://www.aidssaskatoon.ca/>  and held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on May 12th and 13th. CATIE would like to thank and congratulate AIDS Saskatoon, the co-chairs and the steering committee for their support and commitment.

c) CATIE launches a national hepatitis C website.

Please visit www.hepCinfo.ca <http://www.hepcinfo.ca/>  to see the significant improvements made to our relaunched national and bilingual website, where we provide up-to-date information, links to important agencies across Canada and documents relevant to hepatitis C. Comprehensive new information is now available by region on testing, and accessing financial assistance and treatment coverage, with links to organizations providing hepatitis C support services in every province and territory.

d) The Positive Side Spring/Summer 2010 is now available!

The current issue of  <http://www.positiveside.ca/> The Positive Side is fresh from the CATIE garden and contains a bounty of crisp, useful info and delicious summer reading. We look at the latest research into HIV and inflammation, and what it means for your heart. We explore the growing evidence that hepatitis C can be transmitted by sex, and what you can do to stay safe. And we share the powerful, sometimes funny, and poignant stories of several people living with HIV who are working to make a difference: from East-coaster Robyn Pardy’s power volunteering to Samuel Lopez’s visual crusade to help Latino PHAs find help in their new Canadian home. So this summer, sit back, grab a (healthy) snack and enjoy a few moments with Canada’s magazine for and by people living with HIV.

The Positive Side readership survey

The Positive Side wants to hear from you! We are conducting a readership survey to find out what readers think of the magazine. Take a few minutes to fill out  <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZKNXFQ3> The Positive Side readership survey online and you’ll help us improve Canada’s magazine for and by people with HIV. (You can also find a link to the survey at www.positiveside.ca <http://www.positiveside.ca/> .)

e) How is CATIE doing? Fill out our evaluation survey online.

Your opinion matters to us! In 2008, CATIE became a central contact point, in both English and French, for HIV information in Canada. 

We would like to know how we are doing. So we are asking people working in HIV to complete this <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8S7VF57>  short survey. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. All your answers will be anonymous and you can choose which questions you wish to answer. Please distribute this within your own networks. We need as many people working in HIV as possible to complete this survey. Thank you.

a) Vaccines for HPV – Results in men.

Today, two vaccines have demonstrated their ability to reduce the risk of developing HPV-related cancer in HIV-negative women. Because of the absence of data, researchers were not sure that these vaccines could work in gay and bisexual men. However, results from a subset of MSM from a large trial of Gardasil in young men recently became available.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/e4aa96ab00957af585257727004d6d2c!OpenDocument>  complete article…

b) Casual sex study calls for interventions.

Research from high-income countries suggests that there are increasing numbers of men who have unprotected anal sex with casual male partners. Not surprisingly, rates of sexually transmitted infections are on the rise among some gay and bisexual men in these countries. The reasons for the increase in unprotected sex in this population are complex but may in part be related to perceptions about HIV infection and its treatment.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/33a968c2a745dce48525772300617eac!OpenDocument>  complete article…

c) Massive study called ART-CC examines causes of death among HAART users.

Researchers have been collecting health-related information from HIV-positive people who began HAART between 1996 and 2006. The collection and analysis of this data is part of a project called ART-CC to help identify trends in health across high-income countries. The most recent analysis appears in the May 15th, 2010 issue of the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, and focuses on causes of death among HAART users.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/9d42368e1d0d615a85257720004f493e!OpenDocument>  complete article…

d) HIV and hepatitis C in Alberta.

Researchers with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Alberta Health Services have been conducting a study among people who inject illicit drugs in order to gain a better understanding of the epidemics of HIV and hepatitis C virus in that population. In their report the researchers stated that injection drug users “have complex needs” and programs that help this community with addiction, medical, psychological and other issues need to continue.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/c23eabc711ff1c5d8525771c00656036!OpenDocument>  complete article…

e) Study finds recovery from hepatitis C does not confer protection from future infection.

Some researchers conducted a study to understand why some HIV-positive men who had apparently successfully cleared the hepatitis C virus through treatment were showing signs of liver damage at a later date. Investigation was needed because researchers were unsure whether the men were re-infected or had a relapse of their initial HCV infection. The study’s findings have implications for HCV prevention efforts among gay and bisexual men.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/e8cb69ee07c4068285257719005660dd!OpenDocument>  complete article…

f) Routine HIV testing urged to speed entry to care in Canada and the U.S. 

In one study, numerous databases have been analyzed for health-related information collected from HIV-positive people. Its most recent report focused on nearly 45,000 people and suggests that HIV-positive people are delaying the initiation of HAART until relatively late in the course of HIV infection. This has implications not only for the health and survival of HIV-positive people but also for costs to the health care system.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/de16f4cc5afb2d378525771400628804!OpenDocument>  complete article…

g) Can lipodystrophy improve over the long term?

Researchers have been analyzing long-term data collected from men with HIV-related lipodystrophy. Their findings suggest that lipodystrophy can improve for some men. However, the improvement is generally slow and modest.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/e1baff77ecc0fea7852577030064762d!OpenDocument>  complete article…

h) Australia—unexpected findings about HIV transmission in gay and bisexual men.

To try to understand the risk of HIV transmission among men who have sex with men, researchers in Australia undertook a prolonged study. Their analysis is disquieting, suggesting that the overall risk of HIV transmission among gay and bisexual men has not changed in the era of widely available HAART.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/0a1d47edd1f54e6e852576f7006f81fe!OpenDocument>  complete article…

i) HAART and its potential impact on the spread of HIV—focus on men.

We know today that an undetectable viral load, while a major clinical achievement, does not mean that HIV infection will gradually disappear or be cured. HIV still lurks in many tissues and within a range of cells found deep within the body, such as in the bone marrow.

See <http://www.catie.ca/catienews.nsf/00a48c8905294f0b8525717f00661eb8/c8cb7ec27f062b3d852576f1005dd17d!OpenDocument>  complete article…

5) What’s new in hepatitis C?

This new section is dedicated to information on hepatitis C. For more information, please visit www.hepCinfo.ca <http://www.hepcinfo.ca/> .

a) Join the Canadian Coalition of Organizations Responding to Hepatitis B and C. 

The Canadian Coalition of Organizations Responding to Hepatitis B and C unites organizations and individuals to focus increased attention on the response to hepatitis B and C – diseases that negatively affect the quality of life of up to 600,000 Canadians and their families, friends and caregivers. 

The goal is to see federal, provincial and territorial governments demonstrate their commitment to hepatitis B and C prevention, care, treatment, support and research with funding proportionate to the impact and burden of this health issue.  

The Coalition is open to any organization, group or individual concerned with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C that has formally indicated support of the Coalition’s goals. There is no fee for joining and no obligation to devote staff or financial resources. Members will be notified of Coalition goals and activities, have the opportunity to provide feedback on and contribute to those goals and activities, and participate in a Coalition Steering Committee.

For more information, please visit www.canadianhepatitiscoalition.ca <http://www.canadianhepatitiscoalition.ca/> .

b) The World Hepatitis Alliance publishes global policy report.

The World Hepatitis Alliance, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), has published a comprehensive report “Viral <http://www.aminumber12.org/Content/Upload/File/Policy%20Report_Final.pdf>  Hepatitis: Global Policy.”

This unprecedented report captures the extent of viral hepatitis policies around the world and shows that, while effective policy exists in some countries, there is substantial variation and in many countries it is not in place or requires significant strengthening.

The World Hepatitis Alliance was commissioned by the WHO to conduct this research throughout all 193 member states, examining existing policies as well as areas in which the WHO might assist. The report collates information from 135 countries and highlights a global need to tackle viral hepatitis with a more unified approach. 

c) The World Hepatitis Alliance launches a new website.

The World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) has launched its new interactive, global website: www.worldhepatitisalliance.org <http://www.worldhepatitisalliance.org/> . 

The website is intended to be a global resource to raise awareness and bring about change for the millions of people living with viral hepatitis. It is also meant to be a tool to connect patient groups.

The WHA encourages you to visit and contribute to the website – comment on blog posts, share your story on the wall and update your group’s details via the ‘Community’ component. The more you participate, the more comprehensive the website will become.

For more information, please e-mail: contact at worldhepatitisalliance.org. 

d) The latest World Hepatitis Alliance Newsletter is available. 

This special edition carries important updates on the World Hepatitis Alliance campaign and projects as well as a snapshot of what patient groups around the world did to mark World Hepatitis Day 2010.

7) Research priorities for co-morbidities and HIV/AIDS? CIHR wants to hear from you.

The HIV/AIDS Research Initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is seeking input from stakeholders across the country to help identify research priorities in the area of HIV/AIDS and co-morbidities.

For most people on treatment, HIV/AIDS is now experienced as a complex chronic disease. Often people are dealing with additional health issues, called co-morbidities, such as co-infections, cardiovascular disease or mental health issues. CIHR wants to support research that will reduce the impact of co-morbidities for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Online survey

Persons living with HIV/AIDS, clinicians, researchers and others interested in the issues of co-morbidities and HIV/AIDS are invited to complete a short, confidential survey. The input received will help guide future CIHR investments in research.

The survey is open until June 18, 2010. Make your opinions known. Visit: www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/aidssurvey.
