Hello everyone.
I’m so sorry but this comment is full of miss information. Not only about the HIV virus and treatment but also on the new ammentment made by the Department of immigration.
First of all, when HIV is controlled and the patient is undetectable and the medical regime is working, there is no scientific reason why the patient will suddenly die or get sick. Please people it’s important to educate yourself first about HIV/AIDS and antiretroviral medicine before posting about the issue.
Second, the medical rest you undergo, uses an HIV test called ELISA, this test will react to a protein in your blood that only appears if you were expose or have, or had the virus active. Hence NON REACTIVE and REACTIVE test results.
WHERE EXPOSE: some people were expose to the virus but no longer have it since they quickly stopped it before maturing using PREP drugs.
HAVE HIV: people who have untreated HIV maybe going to AIDS.
HAD IT: even though there is only one person in the world totally cured of HIV; people undergoing treatment and undetectable (this means there is no detectable copies of the virus in a blood sample = the person NO LONGER transmit the virus) are safe and free of sudden death or diying by any opportunistic illness.
As I mentioned before the test ELISA won’t let you know if you have AIDS, for that you need to look at your CD4 or white cells. If you are under medication and undetectable your white cells are fine, healthy and your immune systems is working as good as the next negative person. Therefore you won’t BE DIYING OF GETTING SICK SUDDENTLY OR GETTING AN OPPORTUNISTIC ILNESS.
That is why immigration Canada since a lot of time ago, do not consider having HIV a treat to healthy Canadians but an excessive demand to publish funds for treating people in Canada.
Fourtunately since June 2018 this funds have been raised to 19,000 a year per person. A person who is HIV POSITIVE under treatment and Undetectable is considered in better health. Please read this sample taking out of the CIC WEBSITE
A 40-year‑old female applicant to the Provincial Nominee Program, who intends to live in Toronto, Ontario, has HIV. Without medication, the applicant would develop acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and become ill. The applicant takes the medication Atripla to treat her infection and to protect her immune system. She also has regular appointments with a doctor who specializes in HIV, and she gets laboratory tests.
Assuming her costs are
- Medication: $16,425 per year
- Specialist doctor visits every 6 months: $210.50 per year
- Laboratory tests (liver function, viral load, CD4 count and complete blood count every 3 months): $139.80 per year
The total cost of health and social services for this applicant is $16,775 per year (or $83,877 over 5 years). This cost would not exceed the cost threshold of $19,812 per year. This applicant would be admissible because her health condition would not reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services.
