KEY POINTS New HIV infections occur every year in Canada,[1][1] highlighting the need for integrated prevention programs. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and nonoccupational postexposure (nPEP) are two important strategies preventing that should be considered standard of care
Abstract Objectives The last Canadian biobehavioural surveillance study of HIV and other sexually transmitted blood-borne infections (STBBI) among gay, bisexual men who have sex with (GBM) was conducted in 2010. We designed a to measure STBBI prevalence GBM metropolitan Montreal, Toronto Vancouver document related preventive risk behaviours. Methods Engage Cohort Study used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) recruit reported another man the past 6 months. At baseline, we examined recruitment...
<h3>Background:</h3> In Canada, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with (GBM) are disproportionately affected by HIV. Our objective was to describe access HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) identify factors associated not using PrEP among self-reported HIV-negative or HIV-unknown GBM. <h3>Methods:</h3> This a cross-sectional analysis of the Engage study cohort. Between 2017 2019, sexually active GBM aged 16 years more in Montréal, Toronto Vancouver were recruited via respondent-driven...
Abstract Background and Objectives Until recently, gay, bisexual other men who have sex with (MSM) were deferred from donating blood for 3–12 months since the last male‐to‐male sexual contact. This MSM deferral has been discontinued by several high‐income countries (HIC) that now perform gender‐neutral donor selection. Materials Methods An international symposium (held on 20‐04‐2023) gathered experts seven HICs to (1) discuss how this paradigm shift might affect mitigation strategies...
To determine the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections examine risk factors for these among inmates in Quebec provincial prisons.Anonymous cross-sectional data were collected from January to June 2003 men (n = 1357) women 250) who agreed participate study completed a self-administrated questionnaire provided saliva samples.The infection was 2.3% male participants 8.8% female participants. The corresponding HCV 16.6% 29.2%, respectively. most important factor injection drug...
Abstract Introduction Treatment as prevention strategies have been variously applied across provinces in Canada. We estimated HIV care cascade indicators and correlates of unsuppressed viral load (VL) among gay, bisexual other men who sex with (GBM) recruited Vancouver, Toronto Montreal. Methods Sexually active GBM, aged ≥16 years, were through respondent‐driven sampling (RDS) from February 2017 to August 2019. Participants completed a Computer‐Assisted Self‐Interview tests for sexually...
During the 2022 mpox outbreak, province of Quebec, Canada, prioritized first doses for pre-exposure vaccination people at high risk, delaying second due to limited supply. We estimated single-dose vaccine effectiveness (VE) adjusting virus exposure risk based only on surrogate indicators available within administrative databases (eg, clinical record sexually transmitted infections) or supplemented by self-reported factor information sexual contacts).
Objectives While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV acquisition among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with (GBM), PrEP-using GBM may be more likely to engage in sexual behaviours associated bacterial STIs. We examined associations between PrEP use, condomless anal (CAS), number of partners, oral STI diagnoses living Canada’s three largest cities. Methods Among HIV-negative/unknown-status the baseline Engage cohort study, we fit a structural equation model any diagnosis....
Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) became publicly available in Quebec for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with (GBM) 2013. We used baseline data from Engage, a cohort of GBM recruited by respondent-driven sampling, to examine patterns combination HIV prevention use among Montreal since PrEP available. Latent class analysis, stratified status, was categorize self-reported biomedical behavioural strategies. Correlates resulting classes were identified using multinomial logistic...
Respondent-driven sampling is a variant of link-tracing techniques that aim to recruit hard-to-reach populations by leveraging individuals’ social relationships. As such, respondent-driven sample has graphical component which represents partially observed network unknown structure. Moreover, it common observe homophily, or the tendency form connections with individuals who share similar traits. Currently, there lack principled guidance on multivariate modelling strategies for address peer...
Abstract Introduction Accessibility of pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Canada remains complex as publicly funded coverage and delivery differs by province. In January 2018, PrEP became free charge British Columbia (BC), whereas Ontario Montreal is more limited may require out‐of‐pocket costs. We examined differences over time uptake assessed factors associated with awareness use. Methods Gay, bisexual other men who have sex (GBM) were recruited through respondent‐driven sampling (RDS)...
In efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, jurisdictions across globe, including Canada, enacted containment measures that affected intimacy and sexual relations. This article examines how public health during COVID-19 impacted practices minority men— gay, bisexual, queer other men who have sex with men—and they adopted modified guidelines transmission HIV sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We conducted 93 semi-structured interviews (n = 93) in Montreal, Toronto Vancouver, between...
Blood donation policies governing men who have sex with shifted significantly over time in Canada—from an initial lifetime ban the wake of AIDS crisis to successive phases time-based deferment requiring periods sexual abstinence (5 years 1 year 3 months). We interviewed 39 HIV-negative gay, bisexual, queer, and other minority (GBM) Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal understand their willingness donate blood if eligible. Transcripts were coded following inductive thematic analysis. found...
Abstract Background Men who have sex with men (MSM) are not eligible to donate blood or plasma in Canada if they had another man the last 3 months. This time-based deferment has reduced since 2013; from an initial lifetime ban, five-years, one-year, and now three-months. Our previous research revealed that gay, bisexual, queer, other MSM (GBM) supported making donation policies gender-neutral behaviour-based. In this analysis, we explored willingness of Canadian GBM plasma, even were blood....
Abstract Background An individualized behavior‐based selection approach has potential to allow for a more equitable blood donor eligibility process. We collected biological and behavioral data from urban gay, bisexual, other men who have sex with (GBM) inform the use of this in Canada. Study design methods Engage is closed prospective cohort sexually active GBM, aged 16+ years, recruited via respondent‐driven‐sampling (RDS) Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Participants completed questionnaire...
In 2015/2016, Canada's largest provinces implemented publicly-funded human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (GBM) ≤ 26 years old.

Engage is cohort study aged 16 + in three Canadian cities recruited from 2017 2019 via respondent driven sampling (RDS). Men completed comprehensive questionnaire at...

Abstract Background Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (gbMSM) experience disproportionate risks of HIV acquisition transmission. In 2017, Montréal became the first Canadian Fast-Track City, setting 2030 goal zero new infections. To inform local elimination efforts, we estimate evolving role prevention sexual behaviours on transmission dynamics among gbMSM in between 1975 2019. Methods Data from bio-behavioural surveys were analyzed to develop, parameterize, calibrate an...
