New HIV infections in Canada are rising. Advocates say years of progress is at risk

HIV infections in Canada have surged by 22.8%, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, marking a troubling reversal in the downward trend that had been observed over the years. Advocates are sounding the alarm, noting that the progress made towards eliminating HIV as a public health threat is now at risk. This resurgence could undermine years of efforts to manage and eventually eradicate the virus, highlighting the need for renewed public health strategies and increased funding to address this growing concern.
