Clinical Prevention Services
CPS is an integrated clinical prevention service, encompassing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV prevention, Tuberculosis Control and Hepatitis, to provide coordinated, quality and cost effective care to our clients with a focus on vulnerable communities.
STI/HIV Prevention and Control
STI/HIV Prevention and Control is the provincial centre of excellence for sexually transmitted infection and HIV, and coordinates BC-wide efforts to control STI/HIV. This division operates an outpatient STI clinic, an outreach prevention program, on–reserve education for Aboriginals and consultation services for practitioners on STI management.
Tuberculosis Control
Tuberculosis Control is the provincial centre of excellence for TB prevention, control and treatment. Programs include outpatient clinics in New Westminster and Vancouver; a street outreach program in Vancouver’s downtown eastside; field operations in other areas of the province; and services for on- and off-reserve Aboriginal people.
Hepatitis Services
The interdisciplinary team at BC Hepatitis Services works collaboratively with clinicians, scientists, educators, consumers, health and social service agencies and provincial Health Authorities in the delivery of prevention and care services but is not involved in direct services to clients.
