Twenty-seventeen was an exciting and productive year for the “HPV in HIV Study”.  The Long Term Follow-Up phase of this study extends the national project to collect longer term data on the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of the human papillomavirus vaccine in women and girls living with HIV.

Over 150  study visits were completed in 2017, bringing the Follow-Up Study to 457 visits completed to date.  A pediatric immunogenicity and safety analysis was published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal and a parallel adult immunogenicity and safety publication became open access post-publication in the journal Vaccine.   Data was presented at premiere international conferences including EUROGIN in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and at the Infectious Diseases Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (IDSOG) Conference in Park City, Utah.  Several awards were gratefully accepted by the team, recognizing study investigators and project outputs.  These accomplishments reflect outstanding work from a national team of investigators, staff and participants, with support from the public, and a multitude of institutions.

We thank the Women’s Health Research Institute for their support and invite you to see our full annual report.  We have adopted a new visual approach to annual reporting and hope you enjoy this new format!






The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
