OTTAWA — The federal government says it plans to extend funding to provinces and territories for mental health, addictions and home care by one year. Health Minister Marjorie Michel says in a social media post that the announced extension represents $1.2 billion in funding. Michel’s post comes after provincial health ministers expressed worry about “profound and negative” effects on patients and health care jobs if the federal funding agreements aren’t renewed in this year’s budget. Provinces and territories also raised concerns earlier this month about the future of the Canada Health Transfer. The federal budget will be tabled later this fall. Provincial and territorial health ministers are set to meet Thursday in Winnipeg, while Michel is to co-chair Friday’s meeting. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 14, 2026.

Bioengineer.org | Switching HIV drugs or adding zoledronic acid rebuilds bone lost to tenofovir - European AIDS Treatment Group

Bioengineer.org news storyFor millions of people living with HIV, antiretroviral therapy has transformed a once-fatal infection into a manageable chronic condition. Yet the very drugs that suppress the virus can carry quiet costs, and one of the most insidious is bone loss. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or TDF, has been a cornerstone of HIV treatment worldwide for two decades, prized for its potency, durability, and low cost. But a growing body of evidence has linked TDF exposure to measurable reductions in bone mineral density, raising an increasingly urgent clinical question: once bone has been lost on a TDF-based regimen, can it be recovered? A new prospective cohort study, published in BMC Infectious Diseases, offers some of the most detailed longitudinal evidence to date that the answer, for many patients, is yes. The research team enrolled 223 virologically suppressed men living with HIV who had low bone mineral density while taking TDF-based antiretroviral therapy.
