  • Canada and the United Kingdom have different provisions in health care services for those living with HIV. This study follows Canadians and UK citizens with HIV who started ART between 2000 and 2012. The researchers found that there was no significant difference in mortality rates between Canadians and UK citizens who got HIV through sexual transmission and were on ART.
