# What 

The Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) and the Ministry of Health HIV and Hepatitis C Programs (HHP) have partnered with the Alliance to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a specially designed, provider-friendly prompt or protocol within the EMR. 

#  Why

  • increase the number of people who are appropriately offered HIV testing and tested for HIV
  • diagnose people living with HIV earlier and quickly connect them to care
  • identify people at risk who would benefit from prevention services/interventions
  • help Ontario achieve the United Nations and provincial 95-95-95 goals to end the HIV epidemic: 95% of people with HIV diagnosed, 95% of those diagnosed on treatment and 9%% of those on treatment virally suppressed.

# How 

We are recruiting physicians and nurse practitioners to participate in focus groups or key informant interviews during the next two months. A $50 gift card will be provided as a token of appreciation.
