British Columbia Vancouver BC Centre for Disease Control Create new pathways to care for people who use drugs that are currently in the correctional system. The project is developing new policies and guidelines relating to how testing for sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBI) is conducted at provincial correction centres, with the goal of increasing uptake of testing among people who are incarcerated.

STBBI testing represents an important entry point to care for people who use drugs, both in correctional facilities and in the community. $614,503 July 2020 March 2022
