Message definition (Canada)
* There are two '''HPV vaccines''' available in Canada: Cervarix® (HPV2) and Gardasil®9 (HPV9). For some people, the vaccine is free and, for other groups. it is available but not free. For example, the HPV9 vaccine is provided for free to all girls and boys in Canada in Grade 6. Other people who can get free HPV vaccines are girls born in 1994 or before who were not immunized, HIV-positive people (9-26 years of age), transgender people (9-26 years of age), men who have sex with men (9-26 years of age), men who are questioning their sexuality (9-26 years of age), and men who participate in street activity (9-26 years of age), and some other groups. You can visit the [https://immunizebc.ca/hpv Immunize BC website] to learn more.
* You can get the '''Hepatitis B vaccine''' at many sexual health clinics.
* If you want '''Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)''', you should contact a hospital emergency department or their doctor for treatment. Generally, no appointment is required since patients should be counseled and treated ASAP.
* If you want '''Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)''', it is available in Canada. In February 2016, Health Canada approved Truvada as prevention, and generic versions of TDF/FTC are approved for prevention. There are an estimated 900-1,100 people on PrEP in Canada, as of 2018.<ref>[http://www.prepwatch.org/canada/ PrEPWatch: Canada]</ref> According to ACT Toronto, "Any doctor can prescribe PrEP. If you have a family doctor that you feel comfortable with, that is a good place to start. There is ongoing testing and medical care required with PrEP, so accessing PrEP through a doctor that you already have a connection with is ideal."<ref>[http://www.actoronto.org/PrEP/how PrEP - How do I get it?]</ref> CATIE has compiled extensive resources on PrEP for Canadians, which you can check out [http://www.catie.ca/en/prep here]. For updates on PrEP access in Canada, [https://www.prepwatch.org/canada/ PrEPWatch] is also a great resource.
