The BETR Initiative
Building Enhanced Treatment Responses
for treating HIV and Hepatitis C.
Our goal is to improve the health outcomes for people living with HIV and Hepatitis C in the district of Thunder Bay.
About the BETR Initiative
Drug use should not be a barrier to successful HIV and Hepatitis C treatment. Individuals who use drugs are often an underserved population when it comes to care and treatment because systems are not designed to meet their particular needs and come with a stigma.
HIV and Hepatitis C in the Thunder Bay District
HIV and Hepatitis C rates in the Thunder Bay District are higher than the provincial average. The local epidemiology is different than the provincial epidemiology. This calls for a unique local response.
