Introducing the Ontario HIV Epidemiology and Surveillance Initiative
October 2015
The Ontario HIV Epidemiology and Surveillance Initiative (OHESI) is a new collaboration between the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Public Health Ontario, the OHTN and the Public Health Agency of Canada. OHESI will monitor the epidemiology of HIV in Ontario to help:
• understand challenges along the prevention, engagement and care cascade
• provide the information needed to develop and evaluate strategies and interventions, and integrate evidence into practice
• inform local and provincial policies and programs so that services can adjust to changing needs.
The OHESI website will turn into an online knowledge hub, making information available to people living with HIV, researchers, policy makers and the general public. You can join our mailing list to receive updates about OHESI as it grows.
If you have questions, please contact Mark Gilbert, the OHTN's Director of Applied Epidemiology at mgilbert@ohtn.on.ca.
