flag Canada urges universal access to HIV prevention drugs amid rising cases and disparities.

flag A new Canadian guideline urges doctors to stop restricting access to HIV prevention drugs like PrEP and PEP, recommending they be offered to anyone who requests them, regardless of risk factors. flag Released in November 2025 and published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the 31 recommendations aim to combat a 35% rise in HIV diagnoses from 2022 to 2023, totaling 2,434 cases. flag Disparities persist among gay and bisexual men, people who inject drugs, women, and Indigenous communities, especially in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. flag The guidelines support expanded options, including a long-acting injectable PrEP, and call for stronger public health messaging to reduce stigma and improve access, though challenges remain in reaching high-impact populations.
