Overview:

The Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) Program is funded by the Ministry of Health and is administered by the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute. This program is dedicated to improving the prevention and management of STBBIs in Saskatchewan through education, awareness, and capacity building. The program develops and shares evidence-based resources, promotes best practices, and works collaboratively with healthcare providers, community organizations, and government partners to strengthen STBBI-related services across the province.

Through in-person training, webinars, educational events, and knowledge-sharing opportunities, the program enhances the skills of healthcare and allied professionals to provide compassionate, stigma-free, and evidence-informed prevention, testing, treatment, care, and support. The program also supports provincial initiatives aimed at improving access to information and promoting healthier communities for all Saskatchewan residents.

In-Person Training Opportunities and Virtual Training/Webinars

Upcoming training opportunities and webinars are shared through the Saskatchewan STBBI Community of Practice Google Group. If you are interested in joining the group, please email contact@skhiv.ca.

Information about upcoming training opportunities and webinars is also available through the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute’s Learning Opportunities page, as well as its Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Recordings of past sessions may also be available on the Institute’s YouTube channel.

As a means to share information throughout Saskatchewan related to HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV), the SK HIV/HCV Community of Practice Google Group was created. The intent of this online group is to share expert information on HIV and HCV, resources that have been created at local, provincial, and national levels, as well as details for upcoming education events and networking opportunities.

Information will apply to healthcare providers, frontline service providers, community-based organizations, and all those with an interest in HIV and HCV. Content shared and discussed is largely specific to Saskatchewan, but members do not have to live or work in Saskatchewan to join the group. When a new post is shared, members receive an email. In addition to receiving notifications, members can also participate in online discussions, post questions, and share applicable resources.

There are no participation obligations as a member of the SK HIV/HCV Community of Practice. Sharing HIV and HCV-related information with the group is encouraged, but not mandatory. The SK HIV/HCV Community of Practice is a private group on Google, meaning content shared within the group cannot be accessed by the general public online. The information and discussions posted will remain on the site for members to access. However, members can forward emailed content to individuals outside of the group.

If you have any questions or are interested in becoming a member, please email contact@skhiv.ca.
