The incidence of new HIV infections in Saskatchewan is twice as high as that in other provinces in Canada. To find out why that is so, I talked, during last month’s CATIE Forum on New Science, New Directions in HIV and Hepatitis C, with Dr Johnmark Opondo, the deputy medical health officer for the Saskatoon health region in Saskatchewan.
In our conversation, Johnmark talked about the interface between the two epidemics of injection drug use and HIV that is driving infection rates in Saskatchewan and how his province is attempting to address this.
Watch my interview with Johnmark in the video below.
